Mastercard World Premier Wealth Credit Card-i

What makes this card Islamic

Bank Islam Malaysia Berhad builds this card on a Tawarruq contract. The bank sells you a commodity on credit at a marked-up price, you sell that commodity to somebody else for cash, and the cash becomes your spending limit.

Bank Islam states the concept as Tawarruq: the customer buys a commodity from the Bank on Murabahah basis at the Bank's Sale Price (Bank acting as Purchase Agent), then the Bank as Sale Agent sells the commodity to a third-party commodity purchaser at cost price for cash, and the proceeds are credited for the customer's use. Ibra' (rebate) may be granted on part or all of the profit portion of the outstanding Bank's Sale Price on full settlement and cancellation. The Bank's fee schedule refers to 'profit/Ujrah rates' for retail transactions, but the named contract in both the PDS and the T&C is Tawarruq. No bai' al-inah wording appears in any current Bank Islam credit card document read; the phrase 'bai' al-'inah' on the product page occurs only inside a scholarly note comparing tawarruq with bai' al-'inah, not as the contract used.

Approved by Shariah Supervisory Council (SSC), under the supervision of Bank Negara Malaysia.

What it costs

Every figure below comes from Bank Islam Malaysia Berhad’s own published documents. Where the bank does not publish a number we say so rather than estimate it.

Annual fee

No annual feeWaived. PDS annual fee table lists 'World Premier Wealth - Waived' for both primary and supplementary; product page states 'Lifetime Annual Fee Waiver'.source

Supplementary card

RM 0Waived per PDS annual fee tablesource

Profit rate

17.5% a yearTiered effective ('actual') annual profit rate on purchases per the Product Disclosure Sheet effective 31 December 2025: 13.5% (Tier 1, prompt payments for 12 consecutive months), 16.0% (Tier 2, 10 or 11 prompt payments in the last 12 months), 17.5% (Tier 3, 9 or fewer prompt payments in the last 12 months). Cash withdrawal and transfer to a Bank Islam account is 18.00% p.a. The value recorded in profit_rate_annual_pct is the highest purchase tier (17.5%), i.e. the rate applying without a prompt payment record. CONFLICT: the bank's own product pages still display 'Profit Rate 15% to 18% per annum', which does not match the 13.5/16.0/17.5 tiering in the PDS and Fee & Charges documents dated 31 December 2025. The dated PDS is treated as authoritative and the website figure is recorded as a watch-out. Bank Islam does not publish a separate numeric ceiling profit rate; the contractual ceiling is embedded in the Bank's Sale Price and rebated via ibra', with no percentage stated in the PDS or the T&C effective 25 July 2025.source

Before you apply

• Website product pages state 'Profit Rate 15% to 18% per annum', which conflicts with the 13.5% / 16.0% / 17.5% purchase tiering in the Product Disclosure Sheet and Fee & Charges schedule effective 31 December 2025. Verify with the bank before relying on either figure.
• The RM25 per card per year government service tax is passed on to the cardholder, and applies to each card (principal and supplementary), not once per account.
• The lowest 13.5% tier requires prompt payment for 12 consecutive months; 9 or fewer prompt payments in 12 months puts the cardholder on 17.5%.
• Grace period of 20 days applies to retail transactions only - not to balance transfers or cash withdrawals.
• Cash withdrawals and transfers to a Bank Islam account are charged 18.00% p.a. with no grace period, plus a cash withdrawal fee.
