Swap free accounts
We offer swap-free accounts to cater to the needs of all traders around the world.
What is a swap-free trading account?
A swap-free trading account, also known as an Islamic Account or Shariah-Compliant Account, is tailored for traders who cannot participate in swaps or interest-related transactions due to religious beliefs. These accounts are free from swap or rollover fees, ensuring that traders neither pay nor receive interest on their overnight positions.
In trading, a swap refers to the interest paid or received for holding a position overnight, calculated based on the differential interest rates of the traded currencies.
XS swap-free accounts
XS offers normal swap-free accounts (Islamic Accounts) specifically for Muslim clients who, for religious reasons, opt out of daily swap fees, while a conditional special swap-free accounts program might exist for non-Muslim clients.
Normal swap-free accounts (Islamic Accounts) are automatically provided to clients residing in the following Islamic countries (United Arab Emirates, Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Libya, Lebanon, South Sudan, Djibouti, Pakistan, Tunisia, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Morocco, Türkiye, & Iraq).
Special swap-free accounts are automatically provided to clients residing in some selective non-Islamic countries and/or might be provided upon request to selective clients residing in non-Islamic countries. Please check with your account manager if your country is eligible for special swap-free accounts program.
Unlike most brokers, who might widen the spreads or impose additional fees (such as handling fees, storage fees, or administration fees), XS imposes no additional charges on swap-free accounts.
Our swap-free accounts maintain the same trading conditions and terms as regular accounts, with the sole difference being the absence of swaps during the swap-free grace period, which may vary by instrument. Swap-free status is applicable to all account types.
