The Islamic Bank of Asia (“IB Asia”) was established in 2007 as a joint venture partnership between DBS Bank, one of the largest financial services groups in Asia, and prominent investors based in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). This unique shareholding structure affords IB Asia enhanced visibility and intellectual insight across the two leading global Islamic banking hubs of Asia and the GCC, including the wider Middle East.
Headquartered in Singapore and strategically positioned at the financial crossroads of Asia, IB Asia focuses on commercial banking, corporate finance, capital markets and wealth management services, its emphasis is on the provision of Shariah compliant wholesale banking services and the origination and distribution of wealth management and capital market instruments.
IB Asia’s first office in Bahrain was launched in May 08. This serves to further strengthen relationships with clients and investors in the GCC and develop IB Asia’s wholesale, commercial and investment banking businesses across the region.
IB Asia’s Shariah Supervisory Board consists of world-renowned Islamic scholars, who play a vital role in the creation of innovative products and business solutions that uphold Islamic banking principles.
