BankIslami has been recognized as the Best Islamic Bank in Pakistan at the Euromoney Islamic Finance Awards 2025, which serves as a prominent global standard for excellence in financial services. This award underscores BankIslami’s dedication to its mission of liberating humanity from Riba (interest) and its leadership role in Pakistan’s rapidly evolving Islamic finance sector.
Now in its 16th year, the Euromoney Islamic Finance Awards honor institutions that demonstrate outstanding innovation, integrity, and influence within the global Islamic banking arena. BankIslami received this accolade for its customer-centric approach, innovative financial products, and emphasis on ethical, Shariah-compliant banking practices, particularly during a time of increasing global interest in interest-free financial services.
“This recognition transcends financial achievements—it signifies the trust our customers have in us and our commitment to providing Shariah-compliant services that cater to the needs of Pakistanis,” commented Rizwan Ata, President and Chief Executive Officer of BankIslami. “We are grateful for this global recognition and view it as an invitation to contribute even more to Pakistan,” he stated.
Since its establishment, the bank has been instrumental in shaping Pakistan’s Islamic finance framework, from the introduction of biometric ATMs to being among the first to offer Islamic digital banking solutions. With over 500 branches in more than 210 cities, BankIslami has broadened its reach through targeted Shariah-compliant financial products designed for both individual and business customers, including Hajj savings plans and financing for SMEs.
“At BankIslami, we hold the belief that innovation driven by purpose leads to meaningful outcomes. This recognition is dedicated to our customers, who are central to everything we do and have supported us throughout our journey. We sincerely appreciate their ongoing trust and the shared progress that has led us to this achievement,” remarked Imran Shaikh, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of BankIslami.
BankIslami is steadfast in its commitment to advancing its objectives by introducing new Shariah-compliant financial tools, extending its services to more households in Pakistan through technology-driven solutions, collaborating with community organizations, and fostering financial literacy to promote inclusive, ethical banking.
