Yes, the concept of Islamic banking and finance is common in Europe and little bit in USA. However, it becomes debatable issues in several seminars and conferences in these continentals after the financial crisis in particular Europe (UK, France... etc.). In UK for example, the concept is more common than any other countries due to awareness of financial and education industry.

 

In America, the concept is still struggling. Currently, there is La Riba Bank which is considered Islamic bank.
