HDFC AMNA

“Amna” is an Arabic word which refers to “security”. Amna is stated in al Quran to connote peaceful, protected, and secure.

HDFC Amna is neither a separate company detached from HDFC nor a subsidiary of HDFC. HDFC Amna is simply and solely an Islamic window of HDFC offering Islamic home financing facilities to the customers under the existing license of HDFC to offer home financing products to Maldivians in an affordable manner.
