Who Sharjah Islamic Bank are

A fully Islamic bank — every product it offers is Shariah-compliant.

6 active consumer covered cards + 2 discontinued Visa credit cards. SIB markets all its credit cards as 'Covered Cards' built on a Murabaha (tawarruq on National Bonds) plus Wakala-investment structure rather than the Ujrah fixed-fee model used by most UAE Islamic issuers. Late-payment charges are called 'Commitment to Donate' and are paid to charity. SIB closed its conventional-style Visa credit cards on 31 December 2024.
