Syarikat Takaful Malaysia Berhad, which has been conferred an “AA” Syariah quality rating by Bahrain-based Islamic International Rating Agency (IIRA), believes the rating will boost customer confidence.
“We believe that being the first takaful operator in the world to receive this rating, would not only further enhance Takaful Malaysia’s credentials as a leading takaful operator, but also ensure that Takaful Malaysia fully complies with local and global Syariah standards,” its group managing director Hassan Kamil said in a statement here today.
“Consequently, we hope that the rating will boost confidence and give more assurance to our existing customers as well as prospective clients, by being fully Syariah-compliant in all aspects of our business operational and transactions,” he said.
IIRA chief executive officer Jamal Zaidi said the rating reflected its view that Takaful Malaysia conformed to very high standards of Syariah requirements and quality analysis in its operations and business.
