The Randeree family also took credit for the concept of Bank Islami and, Mr. Hasan was appointed as the first adviser to validate the idea in 2004. The concept papers were presented to the sponsors by Mr. Hasan in 2004, and a business plan was formalized and submitted to the State Bank of Pakistan soon after.<\/p>\n Furthermore, the first founding shareholder of the Bank with 18.75% of the total capital was Dubai Bank in 2005. The idea that was formed by both the parties was approved by the State Bank of Pakistan with no hindrance and objection whatsoever in August 2004.<\/p>\n As a result, it was declared as a Scheduled Bank by the State Bank of Pakistan. In 2006, Bank Islami started its operations by building its first branch in Karachi.<\/p>\n | | |
