The Palestine Monetary Authority approved the sale of Al-Aqsa Islamic Bank’s portfolio to the Palestinian Islamic Bank and revoked Al-Aqsa’s operating license following an extraordinary general assembly decision in Amman. A liquidation committee was appointed to oversee the voluntary winding up of Al-Aqsa Islamic Bank while all customer rights and obligations were legally transferred to the Palestinian Islamic Bank. Consequently, all checks drawn on or returned for Al-Aqsa customers’ accounts will automatically be processed through the Palestinian Islamic Bank’s accounts.
