  • 2006
    Establishment

    Established as an answer to the Malaysian Government's call to develop the nation as a leader in the Islamic finance industry. Our inception catalysed Malaysia as an Islamic financial hub for the Commodity Murabahah market — and we were the first in Malaysia to use palm oil and its downstream products as the base asset for this programme.

  • 2007
    First World Commodity Murabahah Trade

    Pioneered the world's first Commodity Murabahah trade using agro-based products — introducing Palm and Rubber as core assets for Shariah-compliant transactions, expanding possibilities for sustainable and ethical global trading.

  • 2010
    Transitioning to Web-Based System

    Transitioned from manual to a fully web-based trading system, revolutionising how Commodity Murabahah transactions were conducted. This shift delivered real-time trade execution, greater transparency, and a significantly improved client experience.

  • 2011
    First Middle East Client

    Marked our entry into one of the most prominent regions for Islamic finance by onboarding our first Middle Eastern client — solidifying our presence in the global market and demonstrating our ability to serve diverse financial institutions under Shariah-compliant principles.

  • 2014
    World's Single Largest Sukuk Issuance

    Participated in the world's single largest Sukuk issuance — a landmark event that showcased our capability to support large-scale, Shariah-compliant financial transactions on a global stage, reinforcing our role as a trusted partner in complex Islamic finance structures.
