At the same time, Al Arabiya Investment through its banking subsidiaries focuses on building the kind of relationships with customers that are based on true partnership with them.

We believe that banking has, or ought to have, a crucial role to play in society, one in which as bankers we have an incredible responsibility of stewardship for the resources placed in our hands. To meet this responsibility and use the resources wisely, we rely on Shari'a principles to guide us as we participate in our customers' successes, sharing in the social development of families, businesses and society at large.

By 'Partnership', therefore, we mean that our success and that of each of our customers are as intertwined as our jointly held beliefs. Taking part in the joint effort is therefore our reward. We see money as a means to capitalise on opportunities and create a better society for all of us.  Money becomes the conduit by which we enter into new opportunities together and take part in common effort for mutual reward; as steward of the resources entrusted to us, our efforts contribute to building the community, at home and in the wider world.
