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.
