Jaiz Bank Savings (Mudarabah) — review & details
Nigeria's pioneer non-interest bank, on the NDIC's non-interest bank register. Savings run on the Mudarabah partnership model: instead of interest, the bank invests deposits in Shariah-compliant ventures and shares the profit with you monthly at a ratio agreed when you open the account.
Jaiz Bank Savings (Mudarabah)
- A genuine alternative for savers who do not take interest: Mudarabah profit-sharing, not an interest rate
- Profit distributed monthly based on your balance and the pre-agreed sharing ratio
- Longest-running non-interest bank in Nigeria, listed on the NDIC register
- Returns depend on the bank's investment performance — there is no fixed, guaranteed rate

- The website publishes very little product detail — minimums and fees must be confirmed with the bank
Fees, eligibility & documents
- Individual applicants (the model is open to customers of any faith)
- Account operates under Mudarabah terms agreed with the bank
- Standard bank KYC (valid ID, photograph, BVN) — confirm the exact list with Jaiz, as it is not published on the site
