Special Council on Islamic Finance meeting

Independent review of every product

The Special Council on Islamic Finance is an independent advisory body of specialists in Islamic law and Islamic finance.

Before a new product launches, the board reviews its structure, contracts and transaction flow. After launch, regular supervision continues so that every process stays aligned with the principles of Islamic finance.

The council's work gives our partners confidence that every financial decision at KamKam meets not only the law, but also the principles of Islamic finance.
