Fifteen students from SOAS College made their first study visit to IDBB to get a chance to expose themselves to the real working conditions instead of just learning from books. It is essential for them to get first hand knowledge and learn from people from the banking sector itself. They were accompanied by Cikgu Fauziah HAD.

Haji Sahroll bin Haji Mohd Roger from the Business Development Division of IDBB gave a presentation on IDBB's current products and services especially regarding the Al Wadiah Education Account and Al Mudharabah Savings Account, as well as a brief overview on the bank's latest product, 'Ar Rahnu Micro Financing Scheme', which is a form of short-term borrowing based on pawn item (gold) as the collateral.

At the same time students and teachers were given the opportunity to ask questions regarding the bank's role as well as regarding its products and services.

After the presentation at the BOD Meeting room at the Head Office in Kiulap, all of the students proceeded to the Ar Rahnu Financing Scheme Department to get some ideas on the services provided, followed by a tour to the operation side of the bank.

More and more students are getting chances to join such study tours aimed at exposing them to the real working environment and thus prepare them for their future as well as to help them in their studies.
