It’s essential to follow your principles, and the Saadiq credit card is designed to stay true to your beliefs, no matter where you are.

According to the ‘Murabaha’ concept, which means a trade transaction, you will only be charged a profit rate on the amount that you carry forward to next month. This structure has been reviewed and approved by an independent Shariah Supervisory Committee, comprising of three of the world’s most renowned and respected scholars in the field of Islamic Banking.

Dr. Aznan Hasan – He is currently the President of the Association of Shariah Advisors in Islamic Finance (ASAS). He serves as a Shariah Advisor and Shariah Consultant to several international and local financial institutions, government bodies and corporations.

Sheikh Nizam Yaqubi – Holds highly respected positions on the Shariah Boards of many Islamic institutions worldwide.
Dr. Mohamed Ali Elgari – Expert at Islamic Jurisprudence Academy and as a Shariah Advisor to several Islamic financial institutions.
