Bank ABC launched its Islamic Banking Division through ABC Investment & Services Co. (E.C.), a wholly-owned subsidiary, based in Bahrain in 1987. The objective was to establish a leading Islamic banking unit, which conformed completely to Shari’a principles.

In March 1998 ABC Investment & Services Co. (E.C.) was converted into a full-fledged Islamic entity and was consequently renamed Bank ABC Islamic, with the express purpose of reassuring customers and counterparties of the continued purity and integrity of its Islamic products and services.

Bank ABC Islamic is supported by the ABC Group’s extensive global network, which includes Bank ABC’s Islamic Financial Services in London in addition to the Bank ABC branch offices, subsidiaries and affiliates across the globe.
