Moya Financial

Sukuk Shariah Compliant Growing-Rate Term Deposit

B-

A five-year Mudarabah term deposit from Moya Financial whose profit share rises every year: current indicative rates step from 1.90% in year one to 2.90% in year five (2.15% to 3.15% for new money), for an effective average yield of 2.51% (2.76% new money). Returns come from Moya's Shariah-compliant mortgage portfolio under pre-agreed, published distribution ratios rather than guaranteed interest. The deposit takes a $5,000 minimum, works in registered and non-registered accounts, and is non-redeemable except for a one-time redemption option at the three-year anniversary. Eligible deposits carry FSRA insurance: $250,000 non-registered, unlimited in registered accounts.

Best for: Savers who can commit five years for a profit share that rises each year while keeping a one-time exit option at the three-year mark - useful for medium-term money in either registered or non-registered accounts.

Sukuk Shariah Compliant Redeemable Term-Deposit

B-

The liquid option in Moya Financial's Sukuk lineup: a 1-year (365-day) Mudarabah term deposit that can be redeemed in part or in full any time on or after day 90 with no distribution penalty - redeem within the first 89 days and nothing is paid. A minimum $5,000 earns an indicative 1.75% (2.20% for new money from another institution), published with its distribution ratio (54% and 67%) on Moya's rates page. Returns are a share of profits from Moya's Shariah-compliant mortgage portfolio rather than guaranteed interest. Non-registered accounts only, with FSRA deposit insurance up to $250,000.

Best for: Savers who want a deposit-insured halal return but may need the money back - funds are redeemable after 90 days without penalty, at the cost of a lower profit share than the non-redeemable variants.

What to Look For in Halal Bank Accounts

A halal bank account keeps your daily money free of interest. Here are four things to compare.

Interest-Free Structure

Find out how the account avoids interest. Some use profit-sharing. Some use safekeeping rules. Some just do not pay or charge interest at all. Each method has its own halal logic, so ask.

Deposit Insurance

Make sure the bank is CDIC-insured. Credit unions should be covered by a provincial deposit guarantee. This protects your money even if the bank fails. It works no matter how the account is set up.

Modern Banking Features

Look for mobile apps, online access, debit cards, ATM networks, and bill pay. Some halal banks now match the tools of big national banks. Pick the one that fits your life.

Fee Structure

Compare monthly fees and minimum balance rules. Watch for ATM and overdraft fees. Some halal accounts charge nothing. Others waive fees if you keep a set balance.

How to use this comparison: HalalWallet is an independent educational comparison platform - by design, we do not provide financial, legal, or religious advice. We do the research homework so your final checks are quick and personal.

Product structures and Shariah oversight vary by provider, so finish with three built-in steps:

Confirm current terms and halal compliance directly with the provider - their quote is final.
Review the contract structure (Murabaha, Ijara, Musharakah, etc.) and any disclosed Shariah board opinions.
Bring your shortlist to a qualified Islamic finance advisor or scholar, so the conversation is about your situation, not the basics.
