On agreeing to become a Freelancer Account holder, the customer enters into a relationship based on Mudarabah with Meezan Bank. Under this relationship, the customer is an Investor (Rab-ul-Maal) and the Bank is the Manager (Mudarib) of the funds deposited by the customers. The Bank allocates the funds received from the customers to a deposit pool; funds from the pool are utilized to provide financing to customers under Islamic modes that include, but are not restricted to Murabaha, Ijarah, Istisna and Diminishing Musharakah.

Qard Basis

Current Account (Pak Rupee / Foreign Currency) is based on Qard contract. The Bank can use these funds for investment and other purposes. This account allows you the peace of mind of having your money safely deposited with a bank with the additional assurance that the Bank is not investing your money in activities that contravene Shariah principles.
