Abstract—Islamic banks have just been authorised to open
their branches in Morocco and launched their first participative
banking products back in July 2017. Past experience, however,
shows a low rate of consumer acceptance of these products.
The objective of the present paper is to explore participatory
banking products (PBP) consumers' expected value and its
dimensions in order to have a better understanding of what is
needed to make these products an attractive market. In order to
answer our research question, we have mobilised the theory of
customer values. The qualitative methodology adopted, which
combine Nethnoraphy and semi-directional interviews, made it
possible to identify seven PBP values: the expected functional
value/ quality; the expected functional value/ price; the
expected emotional value; the expected social value; the
expected epistemic value; the expected conditional value and
the expected spiritual value.
Index Terms—Participatory banking product, perceived
value, expected value, functional value, epistemic, conditional,
emotional, social, and spiritual values.
