How do I open and manage my account?

To open this account you must be at least 16 years of age and have the minimum deposit required, which for this account is £5,000. The maximum balance limit is £1,000,000. 

This is a lump sum account so you cannot add more funds once the account has been opened.

You can open this account:

  • Through Digital Banking (if you're registered) 
  • Online via our website

How to fund your account: 

You can fund your Fixed Term Deposit account either by direct account transfer or a cheque from an account in your name. You can deposit a cheque by posting it to Al Rayan Bank, PO Box 12461, Birmingham, B16 6AQ. Please ensure all cheques are payable to yourself.

Whichever method you choose, you will need to make a note of the following:

  • Your account number, which is a unique eight-digit number.
  • Your reference number, which is a unique six-digit number preceded by the letters ‘LIB'
  • You’ll find your account number and reference number in your Welcome Letter, which you will receive a few days after opening your account, and on the ‘Next Steps’ and ‘Final Stage’ screens of an online application.

Please note: You can only fund your account via a direct account transfer or a cheque from an account in your name. Al Rayan Bank doesn't accept third party transfers.

If you are funding your account by transfer, please pay your deposit using the following information:

  • Account name: the name of the account holder
  • Sort code: 30-00-83
  • Account number: ********
  • Reference Number: LIB******

Please note: If you do not fund your FTD within 28 days of your application, you will need to make a new application to open an FTD and will receive the expected profit rate which applies at that time.

You can manage this account:

  • Through Digital Banking (if you're registered) 

Can I withdraw money?

You will not be able to close the account or withdraw any of your funds before the date of maturity. During the fixed term, you cannot add additional funds to your account.

On maturity we will pay you your initial deposit, plus the profit accrued on your account to your nominated account.

We will write to you in advance of the maturity of your account to confirm what you would like us to do.

Profit not interest

As an Islamic Bank, we do not offer you interest on your funds. Instead, we undertake Sharia compliant activities with the intention of generating profit, which we then share with you.
