For instance, the RHB Purchasing Charge Card-i provides a Shariah compliant charge card for businesses with the benefits of a conventional RHB Purchasing Charge Card. The card is based on the Shariah concept of Ujrah where the payment of a service fee is in exchange for services, privileges and benefits rendered to a business.
