ZERO Markets offers Islamic accounts for clients looking to trade without having interest fees credited or debited. The Swap-Free option is available on our MT4 & MT5 Platforms through our Islamic Standard and Islamic Raw accounts.
What is an Islamic Trading Account?
Commonly known as swap-free accounts, our Islamic account options are designed for muslim clients as they incur no swaps or interest charges on overnight positions. The account holder is instead charged an administration fee on positions which is deducted from the balance of the account.
The Islamic account offers the same tight spreads & fast execution experienced on our regular MT4 & MT5 accounts, while being swap-free. Access to all of our trading account benefits such as fast execution, deep liquidy and cutting-edge trader tools are all still available.
In order to open an Islamic Forex Account, a client must first open a MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5 (MT4/MT5) Platform account and then request for it to be converted into an Islamic Account.
