Participation Accounts

Participation accounts are established on the basis of one month, three month, six month, one year or over one year maturity periods. Participation account deposits maybe in Turkish Lira, U.S. Dollars, or Euros. Each currency is grouped and accounted separately in what we call a “pool system.”

The profit/loss amount of each group is calculated on the maturity date of each deposit, and 20% or 25% of the profit/loss representing is taken by alBaraka, while the remaining 75% or 80% belongs to the deposit holder. The percentage of alBaraka’s share is determined by the maturity period and size of the deposit. This share is declared before the opening date of the deposit.

Income received through participation accounts is subject to 15% income tax withholding.

Participation accounts are insured up to TL 50,000 each by the government, as with commercial banks.
