AmBank Islamic Berhad (AmBank Islamic) is the Islamic banking arm of AmBank Group (the Group) and offers a comprehensive range of Shariah-compliant retail and non-retail banking products and services including treasury and trade solutions. Our primary role as a credit intermediary is anchored by our value-based intermediation (VBI) aspiration. This is an integral strategy to catalyse our journey towards becoming a purpose-based organisation where we consider the environmental, social and governance (ESG) impacts of our business and conduct to ensure that they contribute to the greater good of our stakeholders, whilst being mindful of financial returns to our shareholder.
Our solutions are offered via our extensive network of branches, electronic banking centres, self-serving-machines, digital banking channels and relationship managers that allow access to financial solutions and services in a simple and convenient manner.
In addition to serving our existing market segments which include individual, SME, corporate and institutional customers, we deliver added value to the Group by offering Islamic-centric solutions and penetrating into niche market segments that naturally gravitate towards Islamic banking. AmBank Islamic has managed to further improve and diversify its income and profitability through these growth strategies.
