Islamic Banking Services in Malaysia

Banking

As the Islamic banking system developed, services offered by Islamic banks and banking institutions under Islamic Banking Scheme have become diversified (Table 1). Islamic banking services are very similar to those in conventional banks; however, some distinct differences can be observed. For example, current accounts and savings accounts are under Wadiah Yad Dhamanah (deposits with guarantee), Mudharabah (profit-sharing), and Qard (interest-free loan); depositors are guaranteed repayment of the whole amount of deposits and have no right to receive any return from Islamic banks. Islamic banks, however, may provide depositors with returns as gratitude because of the other concept of Mudharabah. In the case of investment accounts, money in a general investment account under Mudharabah (profit-sharing) and Qard (interest-free loan) is for an Islamic bank to invest in projects without instruction from depositors, whereas depositors with special or specific investment accounts under Mudharabah (profit-sharing) are able to instruct the bank as to which project to invest in.
