Global Prime Islamic Account checklist

At most brokers, an Islamic account replaces overnight swap interest with an alternative structure. The label alone does not tell you the full cost picture. Some brokers charge a fixed administration fee after a set number of nights, apply wider spreads on swap-free accounts, or limit the instruments eligible for swap-free treatment. Because implementations vary widely, you should never assume that a swap-free account is fee-free or that all instruments are covered. The account schedule and terms document are where the real conditions live.

Availability of swap-free accounts often depends on the broker entity serving your country and sometimes on documentation requirements. To verify whether Global Prime offers an Islamic account to you, start with the account types page and the legal documents, then ask support in writing. Confirm which entity would hold your account, whether the swap-free option applies in your jurisdiction, what proof or declaration is required, and whether the broker can withdraw swap-free status later under its terms.

If a swap-free account is available, compare its full cost structure against the broker's standard accounts and against alternatives you are considering. Work through a realistic example: the instruments you trade, typical position sizes and how long you hold trades. Then apply the published fees for each account type to that example. A swap-free account that carries administration fees can cost more or less than a standard account depending on your holding periods, so the answer is personal to your trading style.
