Kuwait-based Warba Bank, a leading Islamic bank in digital services, recently launched “Hassala/ Money Box”, the newest digital service through its app available on smartphones for both Android and IOS systems.

Hassala aims to facilitate saving process for customers while guiding them to rely on their own money and savings to achieve their targets, instead of borrowing or using their credit cards which might provide a quick payment’s solution but in return, shoulder them with long-term financial burdens, said a statement from Warba.

Today, customers can save money smoothly and quickly; where they can access Hassala through the app’s homepage “My Portfolio” icon and choose amongst twelve saving goals including: home, my kids, charity, car, heath and treatment, travel and entertainment, shopping, education, jewellery and gifts; should the saving goal is not included in the list then the customer can select the “Others” option, it stated.

For financing Hassala, the bank provides two options: either through “Sweep” through which customers can determine the maximum limit of money he/she wishes to save in the main account, where later on extra amounts will be will be drawn from the account and credited to his/her Hassala; or through “Automated Transfer” option where the customer sets a monthly amount to be debited from his/her main account to Hassala account at in a pre-defined date, it added.
