Case Study: Bank Islam achieves rapid Shariah-compliant digital transformation to reach underserved customers with Mambu

Malaysia's first Islamic bank takes a digital leap

Bank Islam, Malaysia’s first Islamic bank, needed to evolve into a more customer-centric, digitally enabled institution and extend Shariah‑compliant services to underserved segments via its Centre of Digital Experience (CDX). To meet tight timelines and regulatory requirements, the bank selected Mambu’s Shariah‑compliant cloud‑native SaaS banking platform (deployed on AWS) as the technology foundation for new digital propositions such as Mobile Onboarding, Virtual Account Opening and enhanced mobile banking features.

Mambu provided a composable, API‑first platform that enabled rapid prototyping and integration: Bank Islam and Mambu built a use case prototype with full API integration and demoed two products in just four weeks. By using Mambu’s Shariah‑compliant SaaS solution, Bank Islam accelerated speed‑to‑market, gained the configurability and security needed for digital scale, and improved its ability to deliver accessible, Shariah‑aligned banking to underserved customers.
