“The Emirates Islamic Bank Bina’a solution was developed specifically to address the needs of UAE nationals who aspire to owning their dream home. The mortgage loans are simple and hassle-free, which only leaves customers with deciding which property to buy or location to build their perfect home.”

The first-of-its-kind offer in the market also includes other benefits such as no processing fee for buy-outs, no early settlement fees, 60-day instalment deferment and a cash release option from completed properties, the statement said. – TradeArabia News Service
