GBH Markets offers fully Sharia-compliant Islamic accounts across all tiers — Standard, Pro, and Prime. Zero overnight interest, no administrative fees in place of swaps, and no compromise on execution quality. Built for MENA traders, with full Arabic support.
Islamic finance prohibits Riba — the charging or receiving of interest. In Forex and CFD trading, the most common form of Riba is the overnight swap charge: an interest-based fee applied when a position is held beyond the trading day's close, reflecting the interest rate differential between the two currencies in a pair.
A genuine Islamic swap-free account eliminates these charges entirely. However, many brokers replace swaps with so-called "administrative fees" or "holding fees" that serve the same economic function — collecting interest in a different name. This is not Sharia-compliant.
GBH Markets' Islamic accounts are genuinely swap-free: no overnight swap charges, and no administrative or holding fees of any kind replacing them. The only costs on a GBH Islamic account are the spread (Standard) or spread plus commission (Pro and Prime) — identical to the non-Islamic equivalent.
Many brokers offer "Islamic" accounts that replace swap charges with administrative fees — charging the same cost under a different name. GBH Markets does not. Here is exactly what distinguishes a genuine Islamic account from a disguised one.
GBH Markets Islamic accounts are available on Standard, Pro, and Prime — at no additional cost and with no reduction in features or execution quality on any tier.
Every instrument available at GBH Markets can be traded on Islamic swap-free accounts — with no restrictions, no exclusions, and no expiry on Islamic status.
