Faysal Bank accounts compared: Islamic current, savings and digital accounts

The Faysal Bank account to open depends on whether you want profit and how much paperwork you have. Every Faysal Bank account is Islamic: its main savings accounts shared out 6.37% for July 2026, and the profit changes every month. Current accounts pay no profit. Faysal Bank’s January to June 2026 schedule shows no minimum balance on any listed account. With only a CNIC, the Asaan Digital Current Account opens in the Burraq app and holds up to Rs 3 million.

Is Faysal Bank an Islamic bank?

Yes. The State Bank gave Faysal Bank an Islamic banking licence in December 2022, once all its branches had converted. Profit reported 639 branches at the time; the State Bank counted 900 Faysal Bank branches, including sub-branches, by 30 June 2026, second only to Meezan’s 1,150 among Islamic banks.

This changes how its savings work. Conventional banks must pay individuals at least 10% on savings up to Rs 1 crore (as of September 2026). Islamic savings aren’t under that rule. Faysal Bank invests deposits as Mudarabah and splits the pool’s profit 50:50 with depositors, then declares the rate after the month ends. For the trade-offs, see Islamic vs conventional banking and Meezan Bank vs other banks.

Which Faysal Bank account should I open?

The bank’s account list (August 2026) also has Muntazim, Life Plus, Mubarak Safar and Khushaal Kisaan savings accounts, a MxD Youth Asaan account, Rehmat current accounts and remittance accounts.

What is the Faysal Bank saving account profit rate in 2026?

Faysal Bank’s rate sheet gives one rate to almost all its individual rupee savings accounts. These are the actual rates declared for each month of 2026 that we could read.

The same rate applied to the Faysal Islami Saving Account, Barkat Saving, Amal Women Saving, Asaan Digital Saving, Muntazim, Life Plus and Minor Saving accounts. The Asaan Saving and Muntazim Saving accounts pay it every six months; the others pay monthly.

On a Rs 1,000 balance, Faysal Bank’s own key fact sheet shows Rs 5.13 a month at June’s 6.15%. On Rs 1 lakh at 6.37%, that’s roughly Rs 530 a month before tax. A conventional account at 10% would pay about Rs 830. To compare banks, see savings account profit rates and monthly profit on Rs 1 lakh to 1 crore.

Faysal Bank fixed term rates

Barkat Investment Certificates are Faysal Bank’s term deposits. For July 2026, one year paid at maturity earned:

A three-month certificate paid 5.00% to 5.50%. For other banks, see fixed deposit rates in Pakistan.

What are Faysal Bank account charges?

These are from the Islamic banking schedule for January to June 2026, the newest we could read. Card fees are from key fact sheets saved in August 2026, which are lower than the January schedule.

The schedule puts no monthly cap on free transfers to other banks. At Allied Bank, by comparison, IBFT is free only up to Rs 25,000 a month (July to December 2026); see bank charges in Pakistan.

Faysal Bank also runs a free banking offer: current accounts opened after 14 July 2025 get free cheque books, pay orders, a free first-year PayPak card and a free first-year SMS bundle. Savings accounts opened after that date get free pay orders. Older accounts get free cheque books, pay orders and duplicate statements if the previous month’s average balance was Rs 50,000 or more.

What is the Faysal Bank Asaan account limit?

The Asaan Digital Current Account key fact sheet (August 2026) gives:

• Maximum credit balance: Rs 3,000,000.
• Debits: up to Rs 1,000,000 a month.
• Only one Asaan account per person. If you go over the limit, you can convert it into a regular account.

These match the State Bank’s limits for every bank’s Asaan account. It’s a Qard account, so your money is repayable on demand but earns no profit, and no zakat is deducted. New-to-bank customers get the PayPak card and SMS alerts free for the first year. The bank pitches it at daily wage earners, students and homemakers. See Asaan account.

How do I open a Faysal Bank account online?

Faysal Bank’s digital accounts open in its Burraq app. The Amal Women Digital Saving Account can also be opened on the website.

For other banks’ apps, see open a bank account online.

What documents do I need to open a Faysal Bank account?

Faysal Bank’s Amal Women Digital Saving page (August 2026) lists:

• Salaried: CNIC or SNIC (or NICOP, POC, ARC or passport), plus a certificate from your employer, a service card or a recent salary slip.
• Self-employed: the same ID, plus proof of earnings or of your business.
• Minor (child): the child’s B-form, birth certificate or student ID card, plus the guardian’s ID. If the adult isn’t the legal guardian, a court order is needed. See student bank accounts.

Faysal Bank’s Asaan Digital key fact sheet (August 2026) says an account with no activity for 12 months becomes dormant, and you have to visit your branch with an original ID to reactivate it.

Which Faysal Bank account suits women?

The Amal Women accounts come as savings, current and Asaan versions. The digital savings account pays the monthly declared rate (6.15% for June 2026), needs Rs 1,000 to open and has no minimum balance after that. Amal account holders also get 50% off the processing fee and lower rates on Faysal Bank financing: KIBOR + 2% on home finance, KIBOR + 3% on car finance and a fixed 20% on personal finance.
