Islamic finance awards 2014: BLME

Best Islamic bank in UK

Return to the Islamic finance 2014 awards index

Best Islamic bank in UK

Bank of London and the Middle East is the best of the Shariah institutions to have sprung up in London. Having received its FSA banking licence in 2007, it can now claim to be the biggest Islamic bank in Europe.

BLME has been structured sensibly with a diversified presence: corporate banking, treasury and wealth management, with both private banking and asset management offered. BLME is, ultimately, a play on London’s role as an Islamic financial centre and on the interaction between the Middle East and Europe, and these are the business areas that will benefit from those themes.
