Askari Bank Limited has reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening Pakistan’s economy by accelerating its transition to Shariah-compliant banking. This move reflects the Bank’s focus on promoting a stable, ethical, and inclusive financial system. Islamic Banking services are now available at all branches of Askari Bank across the country.
This strategic initiative is fully aligned with the State Bank of Pakistan’s Vision 2028 and the directives of the Federal Shariah Court. It supports the national agenda of expanding the Islamic financial system and encouraging ethical and responsible banking practices nationwide.
Speaking on this milestone, Zia Ijaz, President and Chief Executive Officer of Askari Bank, shared that half of the Bank’s branch network has been fully converted to Islamic Banking, while the remaining branches are offering Shariah-compliant deposit products through dedicated Islamic Banking Windows. He noted that this achievement reflects the dedication and agility of the Bank’s team and underscores its commitment to delivering customer-centric and inclusive financial solutions.
By accelerating its shift toward Islamic Banking, Askari Bank continues to promote financial inclusion, support sustainable economic growth, and contribute positively to Pakistan’s evolving financial landscape through Shariah-compliant banking solutions.
