What makes this card Islamic

The bank does not name the contract

We could not find Warba Bank stating which Shariah contract this card is built on. That is not the same as saying the card is non-compliant, but it does mean you cannot check the reasoning for yourself. Ask the bank which structure it uses, and for its Shariah board’s approval, before you apply.

Approved by Sharia Board, under the supervision of Central Bank of Kuwait (CBK).

Where these figures come from

What we could not verify

Warba Bank does not publish shariah contract, shariah board, minimum age, maximum age, late payment fee, over-limit fee, replacement card fee, takaful cover, reward caps, apr for this card, so we have left those blank rather than guess. If you need one of them, ask the bank directly and hold them to the answer in writing.
