A swap-free account is a type of trading account that does not incur overnight interest charges, making it suitable for clients in Muslim countries or those who follow Islamic finance principles. In a standard swap account, a fee (known as a swap) is charged for each night a position is held open. In contrast, swap-free accounts allow you to hold positions overnight without paying this fee.
However, this benefit is limited to a specific number of nights, known as the Swap-Free Daily Allowance. Once this allowance is exceeded, a Swap-Free Daily Fee may apply for each additional night the position remains open.
The number of days you can trade without incurring swap-free fees depends on both the instrument and your Swap-Free mode (Normal or Enhanced). After this allowance period ends, a daily Swap Free Fee is applied for each additional day the position remains open.
You can view the Swap-Free Days Allowance and the applicable Swap-Free Fee for each instrument on our Contract Specifications page. Simply select the instrument to see full details.
