How the Wakala Treasury Deposit Account Works

The account is operated under the Islamic Finance principle of Wakala which is an “agency agreement” where we would act as the agent to achieve an agreed expected rate of profit for an agreed number of days. As an agent we will monitor the investment very closely on a daily basis to make sure that we achieve the expected profit rate agreed with the client. If at any point (for any reason), we are not able to achieve the expected profit rate, we will terminate the agreement and will return the deposit plus the profit accrued on the deposit up until the date of termination. This process minimises the risk to your investment, as a reduction in returns below the agreed profit rate will result in termination of the agreement. However, you will still benefit from the profit accrued up until that point.
