Islamic banks pay profit to their savers rather than interest. 

Instead of paying a guaranteed interest rate to their savers, Islamic Banks, such as AlRayan Bank, invest customers’ deposits in ethical, Sharia compliant trading activities in order to generate a profit.

Investments are monitored on a daily basis by AlRayan Bank to ensure that they will provide the expected profit rate which was quoted to the customer. This approach has proved extremely accurate; since AlRayan Bank was founded in 2004, it has always paid the rate of profit it has quoted to its customers, and on numerous occasions, when investments have performed better than expected, it has even paid more.
