Our promise is to bring you ethically designed products, delivered through cutting-edge 21st century digital technology.

We believe that banking can be better – and it all starts with a bank founded on rock solid ethics.

Who is Islamic Bank Australia?

Islamic Bank Australia was originally founded by thirteen passionate Muslims who wanted to bring Islamic banking to Australia for the first time.  With more than 3% of the Australian population of the Islamic faith, Shariah-compliant banking in Australia is long overdue.

Our shareholders are these thirteen investors as well as Abreco Group, a UAE-based company who have been working to bring the dream to reality.

Our business is led by Dean Gillespie as CEO, and our Chair is Anthony Wamsteker.  Both are incredibly experienced bankers who have operated at the most senior levels of Australian banking.  They are supported by a strong executive and board team, and globally recognised Shariah scholars.

Our company name is Islamic Bank Australia.  We’re based in Parramatta in Sydney, but we have staff and directors in WA, Victoria and Queensland too.

 

We’re not open for business yet.  We’re working hard to launch as soon as possible

We're not open for business yet. We're a "Restricted ADI" which allows us to build our systems and test our products before 5 July 2024. We then plan to obtain APRA approval to launch publicly.

Our Mission

To transform Australian banking with a​ digital-first, socially responsible bank that​
brings choice and inclusion to Australian Muslims.​

Important regulatory notice

We hold a restricted ADI authorisation granted by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA). This authorisation allows us to offer banking services, but is subject to certain restrictions such as a cap on the amount of deposits that we can hold in total. The purpose of the “restricted” status is that we can test our systems and processes before launching as a fully unrestricted bank.

We do not currently meet the full prudential framework and/or requirements, and you should consider this before depositing funds with us. After the completion of our “restricted” phase, we plan to obtain APRA’s approval so that we can publicly launch.

Acknowledgement of Country

We acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the first Australians and Traditional Custodians of the lands where we live, work and bank.  Our corporate head office is in Darug Country. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging.
