Islamic Account

What is an Islamic Trading Account?

How to trade in-line with the Muslim Faith?

Our Islamic accounts, also referred to as swap-free accounts, are specifically tailored for Muslim clients, ensuring adherence to Sharia law. These accounts do not involve any swap or interest charges on overnight positions, aligning with the Islamic prohibition of riba (usury). Instead, an administration fee is applied to positions, which is transparently deducted from the account balance.

These accounts offer the same competitive spreads and fast execution as our standard MT4 and MT5 accounts while being swap-free. Clients can still enjoy all the benefits of our trading accounts, including rapid execution, deep liquidity, and advanced trading tools, providing a seamless and compliant trading experience.

To open an Islamic Forex Account, a client must first establish a MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5 (MT4/MT5) Platform account and then request a conversion to an Islamic Account. This ensures a straightforward transition while maintaining compliance with Islamic principles.

Please refer to our Account Terms in the Product Disclosure statement for the specific terms and conditions that relate to Islamic Accounts.

For the Symbols ending with  ‘*’ in the table above , Islamic Accounts will not be charged the admin fee for the first ten nights of trading. If positions are held longer, the admin fee will be applicable from the eleventh night. Please note that Islamic account status will not apply on the pairs not listed above including certain exotic pairs and our Share CFDs and swaps will be charged/credited as a normal account. If you do not wish to receive any swap credit/charges on these symbols you should ensure that all open positions are closed before end of day 00:00 platform time. ZERO Markets reserves the right to update the administration charges from time to time, any amendments to the charges will be notified to clients via the ZERO Markets website. Islamic Accounts will not debit or credit swap charge or swap credits when holding positions overnight. Apart from these differences, Swap Free Accounts will have the same trading conditions and terms as a regular MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5 Platform Account.

  • An Islamic client can trade all the instruments available on the platform.
  • Islamic account status will not apply on the following currency pairs USDTRY, EURTRY and Stocks. We can also add that this is subject to change without notice.
  • When there are triple swap charges – on Wednesday and Friday night – the admin fee is not charged triple, we carry the risk/cost basically.
  • WTI is a future product which doesnt have a swap charge/credit. But the monthly Rollover is applied in the swap column so if clients do not want even the appearance of a swap charge then they should ensure positions are closed before the roll date.
