Pakistan’s Summit Bank Rebrands Itself As Bank Makramah

2023-07-19 by Hafiz M. Ahmed

Summit Bank Limited has announced a significant milestone in its ongoing evolution: the State Bank of Pakistan has given its official consent for a crucial rebranding, and the bank is now poised to become Bank Makramah Limited (BML). The renaming awaits further regulatory and corporate approvals, marking an exciting chapter in the bank’s growth story, shaped by the vision of a prominent UAE investor, H.E. Nasser Abdulla Hussain Lootah.

This transformation is the latest development since H.E. Nasser Lootah’s recent acquisition of a controlling stake in Summit Bank. The UAE investor brings an ambitious vision to the bank’s strategic plan: the transformation of Bank Makramah Limited into a leading player in the Islamic banking sector, renowned for its exceptional financial services, and innovative product offerings rooted in Islamic principles.

The change in nomenclature from Summit Bank Limited to Bank Makramah Limited reflects more than just a rebranding; it signifies the bank’s dedication to adopting the principles of Islamic finance. By aligning with these principles, BML aims to deliver innovative and ethically robust financial services to its highly esteemed clientele.

BML has already commenced the painstaking task of formulating a comprehensive plan that outlines its transition into a full-fledged Islamic banking institution. This ambitious transformation will encompass a total revamp of the bank’s operations, featuring the introduction of Shariah-compliant financial solutions and strict adherence to Islamic banking practices.
