Islamic account & our Sharia checklist
Swap-free account: Available.
A swap-free label is not the same as a Sharia-compliance verdict. Check that no overnight interest is charged under another name, replacement fees are fixed rather than interest-linked, leverage terms are understood, and the exact contract is reviewed.
Our factual note: Exness offers a swap-free 'Islamic (Standard)' account, but no further details on swap-free implementation are disclosed. Swap-free availability does not inherently confirm halal or Sharia compliance; traders must review the broker’s official terms for full clarity.
