Banks are notoriously adept at making money and this endeavour is obviously an attempt to broaden Royal Bank's pool of potential customers as well take advantage of ignorant immigrants. As the Toronto Star reports (http://www.thestar.com/Business/article/298618), people ending up paying slightly more with these loans than with regular ones, putting more money in the hands of shareholders.

If the RBC are doing anything, they are doing it to make money. And that phrase "allowing the interloper" is a sign that you haven't outgrown childish ghost stories. “we are allowing the interloper to take over our country and our customs … we are essentially looking at people using the Bible to have their debts waived entirely”

Islamic finance is an oxymoron. Interest is interest, whatever you call it. To call it anything else is a fraud. I'd definitely consider switching banks if Royal decided to offer any sharia products in Canada.
