Badr Al Islami announces first Takaful Savings & Investment Programme

Badr Al Islami has announced the launch of Badr Takaful Savings & Investment Programme, the sharia'h compliant savings and protection scheme, available for the first time to Badr Al Islami and Mashreq.

The product is completely Sharia'h compliant and is approved by the Shariah Board, headed by Sheikh Abdalla Ben Suliman Al-Manei, Chairman of the Shariah Board of Badr Al Islami.

Mubashar Khokhar, CEO of Badr Al Islami said: "Badr Takaful Savings & Investment Programme is an innovative product, bridging the gap of sharia'h compliant solutions in the bancassurance department's product offerings. With the established foundations of Mashreq and the specialized expertise of Badr Al Islami this new scheme allows us to reach out to even more customers who are looking for the most convenient way to save for their needs in future."
