Standard Chartered
Saadiq - providing world-class Islamic
solutions for your financial needs.
Islamic
banking is a rapidly growing phenomenon
in the global financial markets as it
answers the call of discerning Muslims
who seek a banking system that conforms
to their religious tenets. Because of
this, a number of banks from all over
the world offer products and services
that are Syariah (Islamic Law) compliant.
In Malaysia, Standard Chartered Bank
Malaysia Berhad owns the honour of being
the first foreign commercial bank to offer
Islamic Banking products with the introduction
of our Simpanan Dividend account in July
1992.
With the aim of answering the needs of
our Muslim customers for Syariah compliant
services that are fully differentiated
from our conventional financial services,
Standard Chartered Saadiq was introduced.
Standard Chartered Saadiq (“Saadiq”
which means "truthful") offers
a wide suite of Islamic solutions to meet
your financial needs without compromising
your beliefs and values. And it is also
available for all our individual customer
regardless their religion and race.
Our Islamic banking division comprises
a team of qualified professionals who
design and structure our Standard Chartered
Saadiq products/services and ensure that
they are in line with Syariah principles
governing Islamic banking and finance.
In addition, to ensure conformity of
all products with the tenets of Syariah
the Bank has an independent Syariah Supervisory
Committee comprising a team of professional
managers who are guided by respected Syariah
scholars both locally and abroad. All
Standard Chartered Saadiq products and
transactions are developed in consultation
with these independent Syariah scholars
and approved by them prior to distribution. |
