KAF Digital Bank (KAF Group) strengthens digital Shariah banking with consortium-led, customer-first approach Watch the full interview: https://bit.ly/4oWcGaU 🎥 In this clip, Rafiza Ghazali, CEO of KAF Digital Bank, explains why Shariah compliance had to be built into the bank’s digital foundation from day one. Rather than re-writing workflows later, KAF chose a core platform already proven with Islamic banks in the Middle East, supported by a dedicated Shariah advisory team. 🔹 Ensures every product complies with Bank Negara Malaysia’s Shariah requirements. 🔹 Streamlines launch by avoiding lengthy retrofitting of processes. 🔹 Builds client confidence that services are both digital-first and fully Shariah-compliant. Rafiza summed it up clearly: “We don’t want to spend too much time rewriting process flows. From the start, our platform had to be Shariah-ready.” #DigitalBanking #IslamicFinance #ShariahCompliant #Malaysia #TheAsianBanker #TABGlobal
