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?
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.
