ABC International Bank (ABCIB) has announced the launch of Alburaq, a retail Islamic financial service in the UK. Aimed primarily at the British Muslim community, Alburaq will offer a range of financial products that adhere to Islamic values and comply with Islamic Sharia'a.
The Alburaq brand is already familiar through ABC Islamic Bank's credit card. New products will be introduced over the coming months, including an Islamic 'mortgage' which is also available to help Gulf and other non-UK residents buy property in the UK.
