UK - Islamic Bank of Brotain launches ‘new banking experience’

www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk - The Islamic Bank of Britain has launched its first high street outlet in West Yorkshire with a new agency serving the Bradford district.

The move follows the recent appointment of Sohaib Hamid as business development manager for the region. The IBB agency, located within Reeds Rains Estate Agents on Northgate, Dewsbury, is one of six agencies being opened by the bank this year.

It will serve customers across the West Yorkshire region including Bradford, Leeds and Wakefield.

The opening will help IBB to meet a growing local demand for Sharia-compliant retail financial products of which it has the largest range in the UK, including a Sharia-compliant mortgage alternative, home purchase plans, savings accounts, personal and business banking, as well as pensions and investment products, in conjunction with partners.
