Meezan Bank is Pakistan’s first and largest dedicated Islamic bank and is one of the fastest-growing financial institutions in the banking sector of the country. With its vision of “Establishing Islamic banking as banking of first choice…”, the bank commenced operations in 2002, after being issued the first-ever Islamic commercial banking license by the State Bank of Pakistan.

JCR-VIS Credit Rating Company, an affiliate of Japan Credit Rating Agency, has upgraded the bank’s long-term entity rating to ‘AA+’ and short-term rating to ‘A1+’ with a stable outlook.
