4.2 STABILITY OF DEPOSITS
Religious people may be more risk-averse than others.
(Osoba,
2003; Hilary and Hui, 2010)
Hence, depositors of Islamic banks may be more watchful of
their banks’ performance.
They demonstrate a greater willingness to withdraw their
deposits than the depositors of conventional banks.
Alternatively, Islamic bank depositors may show greater
loyalty towards an Islamic bank.
This can happen for religious reasons.
They may also be prepared to pay extra for receiving
financial services.
Generally, these are compatible with Islamic banks client’s religious beliefs.
