Swap-Free (Islamic) accounts that support rebates
By Sukanta Baskey on Nov 19, 2025
For Muslim traders, the key principle in Forex is avoiding riba (interest) — which means not paying or earning swap fees for holding positions overnight.
That’s why many brokers offer Islamic or swap-free accounts — Sharia-compliant accounts that remove overnight interest but keep all other trading conditions the same.
But can these accounts also earn cashback rebates?
- Yes — when structured correctly, rebates are fully permissible because they’re not interest-based; they’re simply a refund of transaction costs.
Let’s explore how Islamic accounts and Forex rebates work together — and which brokers support them.
A swap-free account is a special trading account type designed for Muslim traders who want to avoid earning or paying interest on overnight positions.
In normal Forex accounts, when you hold a trade overnight, you pay or receive a swap (rollover fee) — based on interest rate differentials between currencies.
Islamic accounts remove that swap charge and replace it with either:
- No overnight fee at all, or
- A small fixed administrative fee (not linked to interest).
This keeps trading Sharia-compliant, aligning with Islamic finance principles.
Are Rebates Halal (Permissible)?
Yes — Forex cashback or rebates are 100% halal when structured as fee refunds, not as interest payments.
Here’s why:
- Rebates are a partial refund of broker commissions or spreads.
- They are not time-based or interest-based payments.
- The source is the broker’s service revenue, not a financial loan.
So, from an Islamic finance perspective, rebates are simply a cost reduction, similar to a shop giving you a discount after a purchase — not a return on capital.
How Cashback Works with Islamic Accounts
The process is the same as with standard accounts:
- You open a swap-free account with a broker linked through ForexCashbackRebate (FCBR).
- You trade as usual — without swaps or interest.
- The broker pays FCBR a small share of their revenue (from spreads/commissions).
FCBR gives you most of that back as cashback — your rebate.
You earn from your trading activity, not from time-based gains.
Your trading remains Islamically compliant and fully transparent.
Example: ROI from a Swap-Free Cashback Account
Let’s say you trade 100 lots per month on a swap-free ECN account:
- Rebate = $2/lot → $200/month
- Annual cashback = $2,400
That’s an extra 2.4% return on a $100,000 trading balance — halal and consistent.
For Muslim traders, Swap-Free + Cashback is the perfect balance of ethics and efficiency.
You stay true to Sharia principles while still benefiting from cost reductions on every trade.
