They are notably a Sharia compliant bank, principally aimed at corporate and high net worth clients. I know them well and happy to answer any questions.

They look to have a strong balance sheet, and the principal shareholder is a much larger Kuwait based bank which should give some comfort. Like any such investment (as I am sure you know) you need to do your homework and take independent advice. Please feel free to PM me for any specifics.
