Through this partnership, we intend to offer banking clients our custom designed Bancatakaful solutions without compromising on their religious values", he added.

He said that joining hands with one of the leading life insurance companies in Pakistan is another step towards the expansion of our product portfolio, which also aims to cater the broader financial needs of the HMB customers.

"With the continued support of our business partners, we hope to add maximum value to our customers' wealth management solutions and extend our Shariah-compliant product base for our Islamic segment," he added.
