The Definition Of Arbun
What is Arbun?
Arbun is a down payment that is made at the time of the execution of a contract. It is considered a part of the price of the asset in the contract in the event that the client makes all his payments on time. If he fails to do so, the contract stands annulled and this amount is retained by the financial institution. Whether this down payment makes up for the institution’s loss completely or not, the client may not be charged an extra amount to make up for the difference.
