HOW JAIZ BANK OPERATES
(1) Jaiz Bank is predicated on the principle of partnership which includes risk-sharing. Conventional banks give loans at a fixed rate without any risk on their part, while under Jaiz banking system, the bank shares the profits & losses from investment.
(2) Profit over interest: The bank receives deposits to invest them on behalf of depositors & shareholders and the profit is shared between depositors & shareholders. Account-holders are considered as investors while the bank acts as the fund manager.
(3) Non-interest proposition: Jaiz bank takes ownership of the asset and then either rents the asset or sells it on to the customer (on a cost-plus basis with deferred payment). For instance, for a customer who needs a car, the bank buys the customer’s specific car, leases the car to the customer; the customer pays the bank a monthly amount, and the customer buys the car from the bank at the end of the lease period.
(4) With Jaiz banking model, profit charges or rent charges do not inconvenient you as when dealing conventional banking where the system runs on the principle of compound interest.
