PETRONAS Ikhwan Visa Gold Card-i

What makes this card Islamic

Maybank Islamic 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.

MIGRATION IN PROGRESS. Every Maybank Islamic Ikhwan card page carried this notice when read (2026 snapshots): "all Islamic Cards approved before 26th December 2025 will have their Shariah contract replaced from Ujrah and Qard to Commodity Murabahah". Commodity Murabahah is the Malaysian market's name for the Tawarruq (commodity murabahah) structure; "Commodity Murabahah" is Maybank Islamic's own verbatim wording — the pages read do NOT use the word 'Tawarruq' and do NOT name the commodity platform (Bursa Suq Al-Sila' is the usual venue but is NOT stated by the bank). LEGACY STRUCTURE (still described in the Product Disclosure Sheet Maybank hosts, updated October 2024): Ujrah (fee on services) for the Effective Management Fee, combined with Qard (loan) for use of the card limit, with Ibra' (rebate) granted against a Fixed Management Fee. No Bai' al-Inah is named in any Maybank Islamic card document read. The hosted PDS had not been reissued to reflect the Commodity Murabahah contract as at the last archived copy (8 November 2025), so its fee/rate table is still expressed in Ujrah terms.

What it costs

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

Before you apply

• The 8% rate applies only at PETRONAS stations and only on Saturday and Sunday; all other PETRONAS spend earns 1% and the combined cash back is capped at RM50 a month.
• Government service tax of RM25 is imposed on EACH principal and EACH supplementary Ikhwan credit card-i, on activation and on annual renewal. Maybank Islamic passes it on; it is not absorbed, and it applies even where the annual fee itself is waived.
• Maybank Islamic does not publish a single combined foreign-transaction percentage. The PDS states the exchange rate used "reflects a bundling of (i) currency conversion components of 1.25% imposed by Visa International/Mastercard International ... and (ii) 1% or other rate imposed by us periodically" — the 1% half is expressly variable, so no single markup figure is recorded here.
• The card is blocked at non-Shariah-compliant Merchant Category Codes: 5921 (beer/wine/liquor stores), 5993 (cigar stores), 7261 (funeral services and crematories), 7273 (dating services), 7800/7801/7802 (US government lotteries, licensed online casinos, licensed horse/dog racing), 7995 (betting), 9406 (non-US government lotteries) and 9754 (gambling — horse and dog racing, state lotteries).
• The Product Disclosure Sheet Maybank hosts for this card is dated October 2024 and still describes the Ujrah + Qard contract, while the product page announces the move to Commodity Murabahah for cards approved before 26 December 2025. Fee and rate figures below are the October 2024 PDS figures except where a later product-page notice supersedes them.
