What is the difference between a car loan and a Murabaha loan?

Asked by Banky team 2 months ago
Banky team Reviewed editorial answer

A car loan is typically a traditional cash loan to purchase a car with interest, while a Murabaha loan involves the lender purchasing the car and then selling it to you at a fixed price that includes a profit margin.

Key points

  • For a proper comparison, consider the car's cash price, down payment, total installments, insurance, fees, ownership and warranty costs, and early repayment options.

  • Don't compare "interest" and "profit margin" as separate figures without considering the overall cost.

The figures, fees and limits in this answer vary by bank and change over time — confirm them with your bank or the official source before acting.
