The First Islamic Bank to Use Blockchain Technology
Emirates Islamic will become the first Islamic bank in the UAE to integrate Blockchain technology into its cheques.
The decision was announced to be an effective banking transactions security improvement and fraud prevention measure. According to a report, Emirates Islamic will issue new cheque books, termed ‘Cheque Chain’, carrying a unique QR-code on every leaf, along with a string of 20 random characters. The bank plans to have each cheque leaf registered on the Bank’s blockchain platform, enabling it to validate the authenticity of the cheque at the source.

I wonder how these Islamic banks work, isn't usury or interests forbidden by the Koran? And if they charge no interest how do banks make money?
I think that when you borrow money you agree to return bigger sum.
That would be very strange if true.
