KUWAIT, April 22, 2015
Warba Bank has unveiled its new BCT service representing a trading platform for domestic and international commodities.
The ‘Mosawama’ comes within the framework of the efforts of the retail banking group in providing special services and products to customers in personal finance in accordance with the rules of Islamic sharia and rules of retail finance services.
It will provide Warba Bank customers as well as customers of other banks with investment opportunities and more options to purchase goods and products available both locally and internationally without any loss margin.
The service is distinguished by quickly performing the transactions where the customer receives the entire commodity without any additional fees on the transaction, and the sale amount is directly credited in the customer's account.

The Bank supports the development of this finance structuring to accommodate several products that can be launched in future." - TradeArabia News Service
