  1. Assalamualaikum,
    thank you for clarifying the details on the mudharabah scheme offers by different banking institutions. but i still have some questions, i had just open a new mudharabah account in bank islam but i am still confused with the profit rate. according to the the information stated above, the rate is 2.2%. is it for annually or monthly? does that mean if i have a saving of RM1000 ringgit in the bank, at the end of the month my savings will be RM1020. thank you

  2. Usually, a declared rate refers to annual rates i.e. 2.2% will mean its 2.2% per annum or 0.183% per month. On a yearly basis, for a RM1,000 deposit, you may get RM1,022 at the end of the year, if it is a yearly payment. This rate is your 50% of the profit shared with the bank.

    However, there will be some minor differences if the rate is for a 1 year placement but you only invest for less than 1 year. You may get lesser because there will be a weightage attached to each placement tenure. So, the shorter you keep your money, the lower the returns to you.

    Hope that helps.

  3. Who is the main competitor for:
    1. National bank of Pakistan
    2.and Meezan BANK

    In Pakistani Banking sector.

    • All I am able to tell is that the UBL (United Bank Limited) Group and the Allied Bank Limited are big players there. But to be honest, I have not worked in Pakistan before and unable to really advise you.

      I am currently only familiar with Malaysia and Qatar and some GCC countries.

      Anyone else able to help out with this? Good luck.
