Islamic Accounts

An Islamic trading account is a type of financial trading account that complies with Shariah law. These accounts are structured to avoid activities forbidden in Islamic finance, particularly:  

• Riba (interest): The paying or receiving of interest is strictly prohibited.

• Gharar (excessive uncertainty or speculation): Transactions involving high uncertainty or gambling-like elements are not allowed.

As a result, Islamic accounts are typically swap-free, meaning they do not accrue or pay interest on positions held overnight.

How Do Islamic Accounts Work?

To maintain Shariah compliance, Islamic accounts:

• Do not charge or pay overnight swap/rollover interest (which is considered riba).

• May include an administrative fee for overnight positions.
