NBC HOSTS WORKSHOPS TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ABOUT ISLAMIC BANKING
The National Bank of Commerce NBC has hosted a workshop today to introduce Islamic Banking to its current and potential clients in Zanzibar. Speaking during the workshop held at the Bwawani Hotel ………….. from NBC said it is key that clients and potential clients understand what the service is offering them and what makes it a better option for them, “NBC is always looking at ways to satisfy as many of our existing clients as possible while also opening the doors to others who may wish to join us. It is our belief that through Islamic Banking we have managed to find a way to meet both goals.” “NBC felt it very necessary to introduce Islamic Banking on a personal basis as it is a service slightly more complex than our usual products. The Islamic Banking service is open to everyone interested in having an account and should not be deterred by the name as it is merely derived from the basics that will guide the way in which the service is handled. It does not discriminate against anyone. “ The Islamic Bankingworkshop in Zanzibar is a follow up to one held in Dar es Salaam recently to which Sheikhs, Scholars and individuals were invited to be informed about the new service and its benefits not only to the Muslim community but Tanzanians in general. Similar workshops will also be held across the country in an effort to impact and share knowledge about Islamic Banking. NBC’s Islamic Banking offers the options of Cheque Account and Saving Account. The products are built around Shari’ah Laws which govern the way in which Muslims live their lives, and conduct their daily business including their financial affairs. NBC becomes one of the first fully-fledged banks in Tanzania to offer Islamic Banking services, combining the best of traditional Islamic values with the technology and innovation that characterize the best of modern banking.
