With this collaboration, DIB aims to elevate its digital capabilities and strengthen customer engagement, setting new benchmarks for the future of fully Shariah-compliant digital banking.
A shared vision for the future of banking
This partnership marks a significant milestone in DIB’s ongoing journey to reshape modern Islamic banking. By combining DIB’s deep-rooted customer-first philosophy with Finshape’s advanced technology expertise, the two organisations are set to deliver a new generation of personalised, Shariah-compliant digital experiences designed to meet the evolving needs of today’s customers.
Leveraging Finshape’s Digital Bank Operating System (DBOS), DIB will gain enhanced agility and scalability – enabling the bank to innovate faster, streamline operations, and deliver seamless digital experience across all channels.

Through this partnership, the bank reinforces its leadership in digital transformation, investing in intelligent, AI-ready technologies and data-driven solutions that bring simplicity, accessibility, and trust to every customer interaction.
