Our take
Pros
- Certificate holders are eligible to participate in the bank’s Umrah draw, held twice a year, provided that the certificate balance is at least EGP 5,000.
- apply to participate in investment transactions with the bank against the certificate as collateral.
Cons
- The return is calculated from the beginning of the month following the deposit and is not paid out; instead, the certificate principal and the realized return are fully reinvested for the following quarter until maturity.
Our take
Namaa Certificate is suitable for customers seeking long-term savings and wealth growth through a cumulative return, as the return is reinvested rather than paid out, helping increase the certificate’s value until maturity. It also offers additional benefits, including redemption after two years, access to 50% of the cumulative return after four years, and the option to obtain financing against the certificate.
