BankIslami was selected for its outstanding track record across multiple dimensions. The bank’s strategy has included introducing interest‑free financial solutions, expanding access to under‑banked and rural communities, deploying biometric ATM technology, and building digital banking tools that comply fully with Islamic law. Its commitment to transparency, simple product design, and ethical finance has resonated with customers who seek financial services aligned with their values.
In a statement at the awards, BankIslami’s President emphasized that advancing riba‑free banking is more than a business goal—it is part of the bank’s core purpose. He pledged continued investment in new Shariah‑compliant instruments, digitized customer touchpoints, and financial literacy programs to ensure more households can benefit from Islamic banking. The bank operates a wide branch network and has worked diligently to improve awareness of Shariah‑based banking options.
This achievement comes at a time when Islamic banking assets in Pakistan have crossed a major threshold. With rapid growth in key segments, BankIslami has strengthened its role as a pioneer among Pakistan’s Islamic financial institutions, helping drive momentum toward a more inclusive, value‑aligned banking sector. Going forward, the bank aims to build on this recognition by further enriching its product portfolio and expanding reach to new customers seeking ethical financial solutions.
