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

Last checked against Warba Bank’s published documents on 2026-08-17. Banks change fees without notice, so treat the bank’s own document as the final word, not this page.

  • “"Issuance & renewal fee | 150 KD ... Foreign transaction fee | 2.5% ... ATM withdrawal fee | 6 KD ... Supplementary card fee | 150 KD" — Warba VISA Signature product PDF, Card Details table”
  • “"Who is it for? Customers with a salary of KD 1,000 or more, or issuance against a fixed balance." — Warba VISA Signature product page FAQ”
  • “"How does this card align with Islamic financial principles? Yes, this product is a Sharia compliant credit card with no profit added." — Warba Bank card FAQ”
  • “"You can withdraw cash from other banks’ ATMs, both locally and internationally, with a fee of KWD 6 per transaction. For international withdrawals, an additional 2.5% currency conversion fee applies." — Warba Bank card FAQ”

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.
