Can Kuwait Finance House PLC change the profit rate?

The profit rate applicable to your Fixed Term Deposit is fixed once you fund your Raisin UK Account and Kuwait Finance House PLC approves your application.The profit rate will stay the same throughout the duration of the fixed term. Should Kuwait Finance House PLC amend the profit rate applicable to your Fixed Term Deposit before you have fully transferred funds to your Raisin UK Account, and the amended profit rate is lower than the profit rate you originally ordered, you will have 14 days to cancel your application, and your original deposit amount will be returned to your Transaction Account. We will contact you if this occurs.

Please note, for renewal orders, you will receive confirmation of the renewal and the current profit rate 5 days before the date of maturity. Should the rate decrease between this time and the maturity date, you will have 14 days from the renewal date to cancel your renewal. Your proceeds from the matured deposit will be sent to your Transaction Account.

What would the estimated balance be after 12 months based on a £1000 deposit?

Shari’a banking, also known as Islamic banking, covers any financial activity that complies with Shari’a principles, reflecting the belief that exploitative gains, such as earning interest on money, are prohibited. Subsequently, Shari’a savings accounts use the money from deposits to invest and generate a profit, rather than an interest rate. There are no restrictions on who can apply for a Shari’a savings account.
