Account for Islamic Traders

Many of our traders are scalpers and day traders who never keep a position open overnight, but others are swing traders who routinely let their trades go into the next day. In any case where a trade is held overnight, there is a rollover fee that needs to be paid. These are the interest payments on the positions. However, the Riba principles of Sharia Law do not allow this type on interest to be paid or received.

And that’s why AvaTrade Australia has created accounts that comply with Islamic laws, to allow those individuals who follow Sharia Law the opportunity to profit from their own capital and hard work.

Here are the steps to take to open a forex Islamic Account with us:

1. Verify your account by sending all the relevant documentation.
2. Fund your current trading account.
3. After you’ve funded your account, you can apply for an Islamic account, which operates under Sharia Law. The request will then be forwarded to the relevant department for review and approval. Requests are usually processed within 1-2 business days.

Once your Islamic Account has been approved, you’ll have access to all of the assets offered by AvaTrade Australia. Not only forex but also Halal gold and silver trading, where all trades are supported by physical gold stores. Or take advantage of our Halal oil and index trading, where there are no positive or negative swaps.
