KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 11 (Bernama) — XOX Bhd has signed a two- year partnership deal with IDOTTV Sdn Bhd to supply at least RM50 million worth of telecommunication airtime per day as traded commodity for the latter’s Islamic Banking Tawarruq Trading System, AS-SIDQ.
In a statement Thursday, XOX said the partnership effectively sealed a new and innovative way of using telecommunication airtime as the traded commodity for Islamic financing.
AS-SIDQ is a syariah-compliant trading system that facilitates personal financing between individuals and Islamic banks.
Typically, a financing agreement under the system is backed by a traded commodity as the security such as precious metals and currencies.
XOX will earn a transaction fee via the AS-SIDQ platform upon completion of the each transaction, should loan applicants opt for airtime as the traded commodity.
IDOTTV recently signed a partnership agreement with XOX’s wholly-owned unit, XOX Wallet Sdn Bhd, which is in the business of the movement and transfer of funds, enabling direct debit or credit, and facilitating transfer and receiving funds through electronic means such as via the Internet, mobile and other communication devices.
XOX chairman Datuk Seri Abdul Azim Mohd Zabidi said the unique collaboration between XOX Wallet and IDOTTV was a breakthrough that transcended the traditional definitions of commodities for Islamic financial institutions.
“We believe this partnership will contribute positively to XOX’s financial performance in the next two years,” he said.
