After leaving the bank, I soon discovered that the grass is not always greener. My decision to leave became one of my biggest regrets. That’s why it’s amazing to be back home at the Bank – and I’m excited about the opportunities ahead.
Al Rayan Bank, the UK’s leading and most successful Islamic bank, has published its first-ever sustainability report, marking a year of significant progress in its environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives.
I joined Al Rayan Bank in 2023 as a Senior Operational Risk Manager, my first role in the UK. I was born in South Africa, lived, and worked in New Zealand for four years and relocated to the UK in 2023.
I joined the Bank in November 2020, in the middle of lockdown. The Collections and Litigations Officer was a new role for the Bank and required me to develop and implement a litigation strategy and process.
