A Swap-Free Account, also known as an Islamic Account, is designed for traders who follow Islamic financial principles that prohibit the payment or receipt of interest (riba).
With a Swap-Free account:
- No overnight swap charges are applied
- Positions can be held overnight without interest-based fees
- The account is structured to comply with Shariah principles
Who Is Eligible for a Swap-Free Account?
Swap-Free accounts are available to traders who:
- Reside in Islamic countries
- Confirm adherence to Islamic financial principles
Veo Markets may request:
- Proof of residency
- Additional documentation for compliance verification
Approval is subject to internal review.
How Does a Swap-Free Account Differ from Other Accounts?
Swap-Free accounts provide the same trading conditions as the selected base account type (RAW ECN, ZERO, or other eligible account types), with the key difference being:
- No swap charges on overnight positions
However:
- Spreads may be slightly adjusted
- Certain instruments may have specific conditions
Why Might Spreads Be Slightly Higher?
In some cases, spreads on Swap-Free accounts may be slightly higher to:
- Offset liquidity costs
- Maintain fair trading conditions
- Prevent misuse of swap-free conditions
This ensures that the account remains aligned with its intended purpose.
Are All Trading Strategies Allowed?
Swap-Free accounts support most trading strategies.
However:
- The account must not be used to exploit swap-free conditions
- Veo Markets reserves the right to review trading activity
Abusive practices may result in account reclassification or adjustment.
Are There Additional Fees?
Generally:
- No additional fixed fees apply
- No overnight interest is charged
Adjusted spreads are the primary structural difference.
Is Swap-Free Available for All Instruments?
Swap-Free accounts may be available for a broad range of instruments, including:
- Forex
- Metals
- Indices
- Commodities
Availability may vary depending on instrument type and account setup.
