Azizi Bank
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Azizi Bank is an Afghan bank which has its main branch in Kabul. The bank opened in June, 2005 and is named after after chairman Mirwais Azizi. A villa adjacent to the Presidential Palace has been purchased and coverted for the bank's use.
The bank's accounts include the Qismat or "lucky" account, launched in August 2005, which pays no interest in accordance with Islamic law, but instead gives savers the chance of winning prizes such as cars and jewelry.
