Al Rayan Bank is the UK's oldest and largest Sharia compliant bank. It increasingly appeals to customers of all faiths and currently estimates that over one third of its customers are not of the Muslim faith.
As an Islamic bank, Al Rayan Bank pays profit on its savings products rather than interest. The profit rate it quotes is expected, but since the bank was founded in 2004 it has always achieved the rate of profit it has quoted to customers.
As an independent UK bank, Al Rayan Bank is authorised by the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and the PRA. The Bank is a member of the UK Financial Services Compensation Scheme, which guarantees customers’ deposits up to £85,000.
