The MasterCard-branded Hessabi chip-and-PIN prepaid card is available for free to customers who open an account with the bank. During a promotional campaign for the card that runs through the end of the year, new cardholders may also enter a sweepstakes to win Apple Inc. products.

As part of the Hessabi card program, the bank says each year it will put a portion of funds the accounts generate toward Sharia-compliant investments.

The Hessabi card will also provide cardholders with year-round discounts at popular local stores, the bank says.
