RIYADH, January 6, 2015

Saudi Arabia-based Tamweel for Trading & Installment Company (TTIC), the financial arm of Al Kifah Holdings, has signed an agreement with Shariyah Review Bureau (SRB) to achieve compliance in its financial programmes.

SRB is a global shari’a advisory firm focused on helping institutions attain shari’a compliance in their investments, funds and transactions.

Headquartered in Dammam, TTIC helps customers finance their needs in a shari’a compliant manner. Its key product lines include heavy equipment leasing, murabaha operations, financial lease solutions, and vehicle acquisition control.

"We’ve seen an uptick in the adoption of shari’a compliant financing products. They are the next-generation of programs which our customers are continuously looking out for,” said Mohammed Abdulrahman AL Mousa, chief executive officer, TTIC.

“To achieve this demand we have developed a comprehensive scheme of Islamic products to meet rising sustainable consumer requirements.

“In this evolving industry of the Kingdom, TTIC mix of expertise, deep understanding and exposure of the customer needs, domain and market capabilities are progressing well into our market success and recognition in Saudi Arabia,” he added.

Commenting on the assignment of the shari’a advisor, Mousa said, “SRB offers unlimited shari’a consultancy services that is backed by its international track record of providing practical and reliable solutions to multiple sectors in the Islamic industry.  TTIC will leverage on their shari’a Advisory infrastructure, which allows for dynamic, robust and international scholarly deployment of resources to effectively support and supervise our customers tailored demands.”

As shari’a advisors serving institutions worldwide we see all three regions – GCC, Europe, and Africa – with an incredible upward momentum,” said Yasser S Dahlawi, founder and CEO of SRB.

“As a result we are seeing demand for our institutional shari’a supervisory board services continually forge ahead as more and more players look for standardized practices in shari’a certification and shari’a audits,” he added.

“We are proud to offer our services to them. We believe their efforts to offer sustainable shari’a compliant programs and use of SRB’s services to monitor and maintain their transactional plans in a shari’a compliant way is evidence of their seriousness and loyalty to Islamic financial consumers,” Dahlawi concluded. – TradeArabia News Service
