What is the difference between Auto Loan and Auto Finance?
- An Auto Loan is money you borrow and pay back with interest over multiple years
- However, Auto Finance is a Shariah compliant contract, where the Bank sells an asset at a profit, as Islamic Banks are prohibited from charging interest. So, this product is Usury/Riba free
What is the difference between Loan Buyout and Debt Settlement?
- Islamic Banks offer liquidity - in a Shariah compliant way - to the Customer, which can help him settle his outstanding debt with another bank
- However, Conventional Banks buyout the loan without any Shariah arrangement
As per Shariah, it is impermissible to buy a loan at discount or at premium.
What is the difference between a Conventional and an Islamic Bank?
- Conventional Bank is a financial body which receives money from the depositors against fixed rate of interest and it offers liquidity to borrowers against interest. And it is governed by conventional banking laws
- Islamic Bank is a financial body which executes commercial contracts like sale & purchase, leasing, or construction and are governed by Islamic banking laws which allow financial bodies to carry on commercial activities for profitable purposes
What is the difference between Loan and Financing?
- As per Loan arrangement, the borrower needs to return money to the exact lender from whom he borrowed
- However, Financing is a commercial contract based on sale & purchase, leasing, or construction
- All banking products offered by Islamic Banks are based on financing
What is the difference between Interest and Profit?
- Interest is any increment earned over and above the loan amount which is not permissible as per Shariah
- Profit is any additional revenue generated through various trade activities. Earning profit is permissible as per Shariah
Islamic Banks do not earn any interest on their financings, rather they generate profits through entering various commercial activities like sale & purchase, leasing, construction etc.
What is the difference between Repayment and Payment?
- Installments paid by a Borrower in a Conventional Bank represents repayment of a previously taken loan
- However, installments paid by the Finance Customer in an Islamic Bank represents payment of the sale price, lease rentals or service charges.
What is the difference between Late Payment Penalty and Charity Amount?
- Borrower in a Conventional Bank undertakes to pay a penalty in case he delays in settling installments on due dates. These amounts are taken as additional profits for the Bank
- Financee in an Islamic Bank undertakes to donate an extra amount which goes for charitable purpose and the Bank does not benefit from these amounts
