Islamic Accounts

What are Islamic Accounts?*

The interbank Forex market follows T+2 delivery rule, which means that the exchanged currencies should be delivered after 2 days. However, since online FX trading doesn’t include delivery, the positions are rolled over until it’s closed.
Therefore, a rollover fee was introduced based on the interest rate of each side of the currency pair.
An Islamic or a “Swap-free” account is a special type of accounts in which the interest-based swaps (rollover fees) are waived to comply with Islamic Shari’a rules.
As a result, Islamic account holders can keep their positions open without incurring any charges.
