The Rise of Islamic Banking
There are an estimated 1.61 billion Muslims worldwide, making Islamic Banking the fastest growing segment of the financial industry. In order to retain existing customers and attract new ones, banks must be ready with specialized products and services. Islamic financial institutions must put programs in place to document their policies and train their personnel to support these products and services in order to exist in this marketplace. Banker’s Academy has created a program to address these vital needs with Consulting, Documentation and Training.

Benefits to Your Bottom Line
In order for Islamic Banks to be competitive with conventional banks and attractive to customers, Islamic financial products must meet the risk/reward profiles of depositors, investors and issuers, while at the same time following the laws of Sharia. Additionally, Islamic Banks must educate their personnel to understand the tenets of Islamic law that pertain to banking.
Consulting
When you choose Banker’s Academy, you’ll receive advisory services on:
- Establishing an Islamic Council – Every Islamic Bank needs a board to rule on ethical banking principals.
