Financing Commodity Murabaha
Convenient Shari’ah compliant financing solutions for businesses
The Commodity Murabaha is a financing solution based on purchase and sale, whereby the Bank purchases a commodity from a broker and sells it to the client through the Murabaha agreement with a set mark-up either in the form of a lump sum or percentage. After signing the Murabaha agreement, the client sells the commodity to a third party broker through the Bank, which acts as the client’s messenger. The subject of the Commodity Murabaha sale cannot be gold or silver.
How it works?
The Bank purchases commodities from broker number one for the amount of the client’s requested financing with immediate payment and delivery of the commodities, the subject of the Murabaha. Ownership is transferred to the Bank, and the Bank will bear all of the commodity ownership risks.
The Bank and the client enter into the Murabaha agreement for selling the commodities with a mark-up either in the form of a lump sum or a percentage (Deferred Sale Price) for immediate delivery of commodities and deferred payment. After the Murabaha agreement has been signed, the ownership of the commodity passes to the client.
After taking possession of the commodities, the Customer sells them through the Bank (as messenger) to broker number two according to the terms of immediate delivery and payment. The Bank acts as a messenger by delivering the client’s offer of sale to broker number two.
After completing the sale, the Bank credits the proceeds from the sale of the commodities received from broker number two to the client's account.
The client pays the deferred sale price to the Bank according to the agreed payment schedule.
