BankIslami accounts: types, profit rates and how to open one

For BankIslami account opening, the simplest choice is the Islami Bachat Account: it opens with Rs 100, has no maintenance fee and pays profit monthly. BankIslami declared 7.43% a year to individuals for September 2026. If you don’t want profit, the Islami Current Account also opens with Rs 100. You can open most accounts online through BankIslami Digital Onboarding, or an Asaan Digital Account in the aik app.

Which BankIslami account should I open?

What are the BankIslami account types?

Opening amounts are from the key fact statements BankIslami posted in July and August 2026. Profit rates are those declared for September 2026, for individuals.

Sahulat looks like a savings account, but its declared rate for September 2026 was 0.0992%, so it pays almost nothing. Its free services also depend on a Rs 25,000 monthly average. If you want profit, pick Bachat.

What is the BankIslami saving account profit rate in 2026?

BankIslami is an Islamic bank. It doesn’t pay a fixed rate; it shares the income of its deposit pool with savers and declares the rate after each month. The general pool splits profit 50:50 between the bank and depositors.

From August 2026, BankIslami declares a separate rate for individuals; the August and September figures are that rate. For September, the 7.4286% applied up to a Rs 1 crore balance in Islami Bachat, Mashal Saving and Premium Saving. Above that, and for non-individual accounts, the rate was 2.5031%. BankIslami says the individual rate follows the State Bank’s BPRD Circular Letter 15 of 6 July 2026.

That compares with 6.63% at Meezan Bank for September 2026; see Meezan Bank accounts. Conventional banks must pay individuals at least 10.00% up to Rs 1 crore (September 2026), and Islamic vs conventional banking explains why the two differ. Tax is deducted from profit; see tax on bank profit.

BankIslami term deposits

For September 2026, the one-year term deposit with monthly profit, the only one in its term-deposit pool open for new bookings, paid 8.5021%. General-pool term deposits paid 5.16% to 5.46% for one year with profit at maturity, depending on the amount, and 8.46% to 9.47% for five years. See fixed deposit rates in Pakistan.

What are BankIslami account charges?

An Asaan account is capped at Rs 3 million credit balance and Rs 1 million of debits a month, and you can hold only one per bank. See Asaan account and open a bank account online.

What are the BankIslami account opening requirements?

Every bank must verify your biometrics (finger, face or iris) before opening an account. For BankIslami’s regular accounts, salaried people give a CNIC, the account opening form and proof of employment, such as a pay slip. Sole proprietors also give an NTN certificate. The Islami Asaan Account needs only a CNIC copy, a one-page form and a thumb impression. Freelancers give an identity document and an undertaking describing their freelance work.

Which BankIslami account suits women, children and charity?

• Mashal Asaan (women): a current account that pays a small profit, with 50% off Classic Mastercard and PayPak debit card fees and a free first cheque book. Mashal Saving pays the Bachat rate and gives a free Classic card on a Rs 100,000 monthly average.
• Kids Account (under 18): as a current or savings account, with no initial deposit and the first Classic Mastercard free from age 6. BankIslami also reimburses the child’s first CNIC and driving licence fees. You need the child’s B-Form or CRC and the parent’s or guardian’s ID. See student bank accounts.
• Islami Khair Current: you earn nothing, but BankIslami gives 1% a year of your 6-month average balance to charity, twice a year. It opens with Rs 1,000.

How do I find my BankIslami IBAN?

Pakistani IBANs are 24 characters: PK, two check digits, a four-letter bank code and your account number padded to 16 digits. The bank code is the first four letters of the SWIFT code. BankIslami’s is BKIPPKKA, so its IBANs carry BKIP. Only BankIslami can generate your IBAN, so copy it from your statement or app. See IBAN number in Pakistan.
