Chairman Tan Sri Sabbaruddin Chik said the optimism was based on the bank's nine-month performance ended Sept 30, 2012 of RM1.62 billion.

This was an increase of 8.1 per cent over the same period in 2011 where it posted RM1.5 billion, he said at the bank's appreciation night for customers and depositors here yesterday.

He said the bank had assets now totalling RM77 billion up to September last year.
"Our sterling performance has been acknowledged by the Association of Islamic Banking Institutions Malaysia(AIBIM) and we have been recognised as the most profitable Islamic bank for the year 2010/2011.
