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: FBS offers an Islamic (Standard) account with swap-free implementation disclosed. However, the broker does not provide additional details on swap-free terms, and availability alone does not confirm religious compliance. Traders must verify official terms for full understanding.
