The BankIslami Logo represents a pioneering institution in Pakistan’s Islamic banking sector, a bank that helped lay the foundation for Shariah-compliant commercial banking in the country under the modern regulatory framework introduced in the early 2000s. The logo reflects a brand built on religious integrity, financial inclusion, and a commitment to offering interest-free banking to individuals and businesses across Pakistan.

About BankIslami Logo

BankIslami Pakistan Limited was incorporated on October 18, 2004, as a public limited company under the Companies Ordinance, 1984. It was specifically established to operate as an Islamic commercial bank in full compliance with Shariah principles. On March 18, 2005, the State Bank of Pakistan granted BankIslami a Scheduled Islamic Commercial Bank license, making it one of the first full-fledged Islamic banks in the country under the new framework introduced following SBP’s Islamic Banking Policy of 2003.

History of BankIslami

BankIslami commenced its operations as a full-fledged Islamic commercial bank in 2006. A significant chapter in its history came in May 2015, when BankIslami acquired KASB Bank following regulatory intervention by the State Bank of Pakistan, subsequently merging KASB’s branches into its network. In August 2023, JS Bank Limited acquired a 67.33% stake in BankIslami, increasing its total shareholding to 75.12% and making BankIslami a subsidiary of JS Bank, which is part of the larger JS Group. Despite the ownership change, BankIslami continued to operate independently, focused exclusively on Islamic banking. In June 2025, BankIslami launched Aik, a fully digital Islamic banking platform, further advancing its digital transformation strategy.

BankIslami provides a wide range of Shariah-compliant financial services spanning retail, corporate, and investment banking.

Brand Identity

BankIslami’s brand identity centers on its core message of “Saving Humanity from Riba,” a phrase that forms both a tagline and a mission statement. The brand positions itself as not merely a bank but as an institution with a moral and religious purpose, helping Pakistani Muslims conduct their financial affairs free from interest. This positioning has earned the bank recognition at international forums, including the Euromoney Islamic Finance Awards where it was named Best Islamic Bank in Pakistan in 2025.

BankIslami’s primary brand colors are green and white, consistent with its Islamic identity and Pakistan’s national colors, communicating trust, purity, and religious alignment.
