Islamic Finance & Trading

What Makes an Account
Truly Sharia-Compliant?

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.

Islamic Finance Principles

The GBH Islamic
Account Principles

No Riba (Interest)
Islamic finance prohibits the payment or receipt of interest in any form. GBH Islamic accounts charge zero overnight swaps — the primary source of interest in Forex trading.
Transparent Cost Structure
The only costs on a GBH Islamic account are the spread (Standard) or spread plus commission (Pro/Prime). These represent a fair exchange for transaction services — permissible under Islamic finance principles.
No Hidden Fee Substitution
Unlike some brokers who replace swaps with "administrative" or "holding" fees that function identically to interest, GBH Markets charges nothing in substitution for swaps on Islamic accounts.
Scholar Compliance Available
A certificate of Islamic compliance from a qualified Islamic finance scholar is available upon request for GBH Islamic account holders who require formal documentation for their own records.
Why GBH Is Different

Genuinely
Swap-Free

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.

Zero Swap Charges
Positions held overnight on any GBH Islamic account incur no swap (rollover) charges — regardless of instrument, duration, or account tier. Forex, Gold, indices, crypto — all swap-free.
No Replacement Fees
GBH Markets does not charge "administrative fees," "holding fees," or any other fee that replaces swap charges on Islamic accounts. The account is operationally and economically identical to its non-Islamic equivalent — minus the swap.
Identical Spreads & Execution
Islamic accounts use the exact same liquidity infrastructure, spread pricing, and execution model as their non-Islamic equivalents. There is no wider spread, no slower execution, and no hidden disadvantage.
Scholar Compliance Certificate
GBH can provide a certificate from a qualified Islamic finance scholar confirming the compliance of our Islamic account structure for clients who require formal documentation.

FAQ

Islamic Account Questions

What exactly is a swap charge and why is it haram?
A swap (or rollover) is an interest payment applied when a Forex or CFD position is held open past the end of the trading day (typically 00:00 server time). It reflects the interest rate differential between the two currencies in a pair. Under Islamic finance principles, interest (Riba) is prohibited — whether paid or received. Therefore, swap charges on overnight positions are generally considered non-permissible by Islamic scholars, making standard Forex accounts incompatible with Sharia compliance.
Does GBH charge any fees in place of swaps?
No. GBH Markets charges absolutely no administrative fees, holding fees, overnight fees, or any other charges that substitute for or replace swap charges on Islamic accounts. Many brokers use these replacement fees to collect effectively the same revenue as swaps under a different name — this is not Sharia-compliant. On a GBH Islamic account, your only costs are the spread (Standard) or spread plus commission (Pro/Prime), exactly as on the non-Islamic equivalent account.
Is the spread wider on a GBH Islamic account?
No. Spreads on GBH Islamic accounts are identical to the non-Islamic equivalent at the same tier. An Islamic Standard Account has the same spreads as a standard Standard Account. An Islamic Pro Account has the same raw ECN spreads as a standard Pro Account. There is no spread widening, no execution disadvantage, and no pricing difference of any kind on Islamic accounts.
Can I trade Gold (XAU/USD) on an Islamic account?
Yes. Gold (XAU/USD) is available on GBH Islamic accounts with zero overnight swap charges. All 200+ instruments available at GBH Markets — including Forex pairs, Gold, Silver, Oil, global indices, Stock CFDs, Crypto CFDs, and Bonds — are available swap-free on Islamic accounts without exception or restriction.
Which account tier should I choose for Islamic trading?
The same guidance that applies to non-Islamic accounts applies here. Choose Standard if you prefer no commission, are new to trading, or trade infrequently (from $100). Choose Pro if you are active, trade multiple times per week, or run EAs — raw ECN spreads with a $6/lot commission typically cost less for active traders (from $500). Choose Prime if you trade high volumes or require unlimited position sizes and a priority account manager (from $5,000). All three deliver identical Islamic swap-free benefits.
Does my existing account get swap-free status immediately?
Once you email compliance@gbhfx.com with your written declaration and GBH activates your Islamic status (within one business day), swap charges are removed from all future overnight positions from that point forward. If you held positions overnight before activation, those may have incurred swap charges at the standard rate — Islamic status is not retroactively applied to past charges. To avoid any swaps, it is best to close positions before requesting Islamic activation, then reopen them after confirmation.
Can I get a Sharia compliance certificate?
Yes. GBH Markets can provide a certificate of Islamic compliance from a qualified Islamic finance scholar, confirming that the Islamic account structure — including the absence of swap charges and the absence of administrative fee replacements — is Sharia-compliant. This certificate is available upon request to Islamic account holders who require formal documentation. Contact compliance@gbhfx.com to request it.
Is the Islamic account available for new registrations?
Yes. New clients can open a GBH account and request Islamic activation as part of the onboarding process. Open your account at gbhfx.com, complete KYC verification, and email compliance@gbhfx.com with your written declaration before making your first deposit if you wish to ensure Islamic status is in place before any trading begins. You will not be charged any swaps from the moment Islamic status is confirmed by GBH.
