Effective and fair handling of disputes faced by consumers are important to ensure the stability of market conduct as well as the consumer empowerment. Related to this, disputes resolution mechanisms are one of the key points in safeguarding and protecting the consumers of Islamic banking and takaful industry. According to Financial Mediation Bureau Annual Report of 2015, the number of cases related to takaful matters registered are increased compared to number of cases registered in 2014.
