The Scheme promotes solidarity, fairness, transparency and mutual support while ensuring responsible management of members' contributions, benefits and investments in compliance with Islamic financial principles.
Applicants register by providing their personal and contact details, together with a passport-size photograph. Registered members are issued with membership identification cards and instructions on how to make contributions.
