Dubai Islamic Bank (DIB) is the first Islamic bank in the world and a driving force for change in the Islamic banking industry. With a wealth of tradition and heritage and a commitment to flexibility, innovation and modernity, we provide you with a comprehensive solution to all your financial needs.

 

We have drawn upon our 30 years' of experience in Islamic banking to combine the highest ethical standards of Shariah with state-of-the-art technology to provide a range of products that are comparable to the best in the world.

Established in 1975, Dubai Islamic Bank is the first Islamic bank to have successfully implemented the Islamic system of banking in all its shades. Help and encouragement came in from everywhere such as the government, people and the central bank of UAE.

 

The economic and business philosophy of Islam encourages generation and sharing of profits. However, it forbids giving or taking of interest. Dubai Islamic Bank is the first Islamic bank in the world to practically implement this concept. Leveraging the strengths of Islamic business and economic concepts on one hand and state-of-the-art banking technology on the other, we create partnerships with our customers to generate profits. These are then shared between us. A vast array of products has been created to suit every conceivable need of our valued customers.

Arab Banking Corporation (ABC) brings 'alburaq', a new name identifying financial services to be provided for Muslims living in the West.

This name is chosen because it represents many of the values ABC wishes to introduce, including trust, reliability and stability. alburaq also represents a journey to a new type of financial service, where Islamic principles are foremost and where education, honesty and quality of service are key.

With alburaq, we aim to create the premium provider of retail Islamic banking services in the West. We will work hard to introduce a range of financial products, to provide Muslim communities with the financial services they need in their everyday lives.

Our products will be fairly and competitively priced and, most importantly, adhere to Islamic values and comply with Islamic Sharia'a. We will consult both with a Sharia'a panel of world-renowned scholars and those familiar with local community needs.

Our desire is about more than just creating financial solutions for Muslims. We believe that by developing the best products, they will appeal to everyone, regardless of religion. As part of our quest, we believe in helping to educate not only our customers, but also the wider population, in the principles of Islamic finance and about the major contributions eminent Muslims have made to our modern world.
