About Islamic Banking
Non-Interest Banking is a profitable growing global phenomenon practiced in many countries across the world including the United Kingdom, Canada, the United States of America, the United Arab Emirate, Malaysia, China, Singapore, South Africa, Kenya etc. Global Banks like HSBC, Citibank, Barclays Bank etc. are also offering non-interest banking products and service. It is an alternative financial service offering which is open to all irrespective of race or religion. It is based on the ethical principles of fairness, transparency and objectivity. Non-Interest Banking offers almost all the services of conventional banks. The difference is that non-interest Islamic Banks do not give or receive interest, nor finance anything that is harmful to society like alcohol, tobacco, gambling etc. They also seek to avoid gharar- speculation, uncertainty deception and more.
Currently, about 50% of Nigeria's total population of 200 million are craving for such Non-Interest banking services. These people are desirous of ethical banking services which provide for socially responsible investment outlets. In a nutshell, Non-Interest Banking is real-economy oriented and profit and loss sharing arrangement where the mode of financing is mostly on mark-up, leasing and partnership basis.
