The retrogressive belief has been criticized by the world society, and there has been pressure on the government
and the society in general to eliminate such retrogressive laws and cultural practices. Developing another bank
that is distinctively meant for women will bring the need to compare the service delivery of the two banking
units. As mentioned above, men are still the custodians of family wealth, and it would be common to find men in
banking halls with better facilities for faster service delivery (Tripp & North, 2003). This will give a negative
image in the international society. As Long (1997) says, the outsiders may not realize that the bank was forced to
develop different banking halls because of the social environment in the country. There will be a belief that the
firm is trying to promote a culture that is oppressive to women, which may affect the bank’s performance in
non-Islamic regions where it has branches such as in the United Kingdom. Banking institutions have also had
problems with the issue of interests earned on customer’s deposits. As Clinton (2011) notes, customers will
always be convinced to bank their money when they know their money will earn some interest. However,
Shariah law does not approve such interests. Some staunch Muslims still consider banking as an institution that
is meant to bring temptation to humanity that can make them sin against Islamic teachings (Kline, 2010). This
has also had a negative effect on the financial sector in the country
