The existence of Islamic banking in Indonesia has gained legal legitimacy through Law No. 10 of 1998, yet the implementation of interest-free products still faces various operational challenges. This study aims to analyze the implementation of Sharia bank products at PT. Bank Muamalat Indonesia, Jember Branch. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that Bank Muamalat Indonesia Jember Branch applies various products such as Tabungan Umat, Giro Wadi’ah, Mudlarabah Deposits, Mudlarabah Financing, Musyarakah, and Rahn, all based on the profit and loss sharing principle and free from interest. The main drivers include adherence to Islamic law and the principles of justice, partnership, and efficiency. Challenges encountered include the risk of customer dishonesty in reporting profits and the complexity of profit-sharing calculations compared to conventional interest systems. The study recommends improving human resource quality and maintaining consistency in applying Sharia principles.
