RHB is one of Malaysia’s fully operational Islamic Shariah compliant banks, offering a vast variety of Islamic retail consumer products. All the banking at RHB is done strictly according to the Islamic principles; hence the bank is fast gaining confidence and popularity in the eyes of Muslims worldwide. One of their Islamic deposit products is Mudarba Savings Account-i.

In Islamic finance and retail banking, Mudarba means a type of partnership where capital or money comes from one party and other services such as entrepreneurship and management is provided by the other. Apart from Musharaka, where every resources or capital is equally shared amongst all the partners, Mudarba calls for much broader and diverse partnering scenarios.
