Kuwait Finance House PLC: 12 months Fixed Term Deposit

What is the expected profit rate?

4.67% AER/ 4.65% Gross (this savings account offers expected profit rather than interest as it follows Shariah principles).

AER is the Annual Equivalent Rate and represents what the profit rate would be if profit was realised and paid once each year.

Profit is calculated from the start date and is paid on maturity. Profit will be paid gross without prior deduction of tax. It is your responsibility to declare and pay any tax on Profit in the appropriate tax year.

Can Kuwait Finance House PLC change the profit rate?

The expected profit rate applicable to your account is fixed during the term once your application is approved and you fund your account unless we inform you that we are not able to achieve the expected profit rate.. Please review the associated Terms and Conditions for more information on how expected profit rate changes work.

Should Kuwait Finance House PLC amend the rate advertised before you have fully transferred funds and the rate is lower than the rate you originally ordered, we will automatically cancel your order. We will contact you if this occurs.

Expected Profit Rate

In the unlikely event that the advertised expected profit rate will not be met, (after you have opened your savings account), Raisin UK will contact you advising of the new expected profit rate. You will then have the option to accept the new expected profit rate or terminate your deposit immediately upon which Kuwait Finance House PLC will return to you the original deposit with the accrued profit up to that date.

‘Make Good’ Offer

If your deposit amount returns a loss, Kuwait Finance House PLC shall make good the amount of any shortfall that you may have suffered. You shall therefore be entitled to receive payment from Kuwait Finance House PLC of the full amount that you had previously deposited.

You are entitled to refuse this offer and can do so by emailing service@raisin.co.uk with the email title ‘Make Good Opt Out’. If you accept this offer, you shall therefore be entitled to receive payment from Kuwait Finance House PLC of the full amount that you had previously deposited with Kuwait Finance House PLC.

We would like to draw your attention to the guidance offered by the Kuwait Finance House PLC Shariah Supervisory Board. The guidance is that if Kuwait Finance House PLC needs to make good the amount of any shortfall (set out above), this will not comply with Shariah principles

What would the estimated balance be after 12 months based on a £1000.00 deposit?

Additional Information

As of the 3rd of June 2024, Kuwait Finance House PLC has converted to become a Shariah compliant entity and only offer Shariah-compliant products on the Raisin UK platform. Any products opened with Kuwait Finance House PLC prior to this date will continue to accrue interest until maturity and will not conform to the Shariah principles outlined in the current product summary box. The information specified in the product summary box presented during the order process, prior to 3rd June 2024 will remain applicable and unchanged until maturity of the relevant fixed term deposits.

Meteor Asset Management (MAM), with their administration arm Meteor Investment Management (MIM), will administer the deposit on your behalf.

Funds will be remitted to Kuwait Finance House PLC by MIM on the business day after they arrive in the MIM account. It can therefore take up to 2 business days for an ordered product to be set up and invested and start earning profit.

All cash in transit and deposits once established, will be held by MIM and MAM in trust for you under FCA client money and asset rules.

If you have any questions relating to your account, please contact Raisin.

Bank Details

Kuwait Finance House (KFH) is considered a pioneer in the banking phenomenon known as Islamic Finance or Shari’a Compliant Banking. KFH is the first Islamic bank established in 1977 in the State of Kuwait and today it’s one of the foremost Islamic financial institutions in the world. Today, its range of British banking services include Private Banking, Wealth Management, Residential Property Finance, Commercial Property Finance and Premium Banking services. Deposits made into savings accounts offered by Kuwait Finance House PLC through the platform are protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) up to £85,000 per person, per banking group.

Security & Deposit Protection

The FSCS is the United Kingdom's statutory deposit guarantee scheme that covers deposits in individual savings accounts up to £85,000, per banking group regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority or the Prudential Regulation Authority. It is available for deposits with most UK high-street and online banks and means if the bank fails, and deposits become unavailable, the scheme may cover your deposit account deposit up to the £85,000 per person, per banking group limit. Compensation limits are per person per firm, not per deposit. Be aware that if you have other deposits with this bank (or banking group) then the £85,000 protection applies only to eligible deposits up to this limit.
