Amounts show "US$" only where the broker names US dollars; a bare "$" is printed as the broker prints it. The licence word reads "register" where we read the regulator's register, and "broker's statement" otherwise. Their companies are licensed in Belize, Cayman Islands, Mauritius and Seychelles; we read each page from a Malaysian connection.

Islamic forex account reviews for Malaysian traders
1. Fintrix Markets
Category-weighted score 63.8. Published rating 73, which includes an editorial adjustment of +9.2. Adjustments are disclosed on every page they apply to; see our methodology.
Islamic (Swap Free) accounts sit among Fintrix Markets' Zero, Standard and Cent account types, offered to eligible traders in selected regions, with no fee amount stated and no word on whether Malaysia is among the regions, so confirm that at sign-up. Its page says alternative charges or conditions may apply, so I would read the fee schedule. The demo expires after 45 days, with non-expiry on request. Fintrix Markets takes Malaysian residents through Fintrix Markets Ltd in Mauritius.

2. TabTrade
A dedicated Swap-Free account sits among TabTrade's Standard, Edge, VIP and Cent accounts, for supported regions, with a service fee charged per average lot once after each seven calendar days, per its published fee schedule. I would compare that fee against your holding period. The Edge account averages 0.03 pips on the EUR/USD, the lowest published average among these five, and the Standard and Edge accounts open at $0. TabTrade takes Malaysian residents through TabTrade (Mauritius) Ltd in Mauritius.

3. IC Markets
The Swap Free account at IC Markets covers its Raw Spread and Standard types, and an overnight holding fee applies. IC Markets publishes a per-lot schedule of holding fees for swap-free positions held overnight, with grace days, and states no region limit. It names MT4, MT5 and cTrader for its swap-free option. The Raw Spread account averages 0.1 pips on the EUR/USD and opens at $0. IC Markets takes Malaysian residents through Raw Trading Ltd in Seychelles.

4. MultiBank Group
MultiBank Group's Islamic Account, also called a Swap-Free Account, is a separate type alongside Standard, Pro and ECN, with no fee amount, time limit or region limit stated. The ECN account averages 0.1 pips on the EUR/USD but needs $10,000, while the Standard account starts at $50, which suits a smaller balance. MultiBank Group takes Malaysian residents through MEX Atlantic Corporation in the Cayman Islands.

5. XTB
Swap Free at XTB is available for specific periods and not for all products, with no fee amount stated. It runs on xStation 5; XTB removed MetaTrader 4 on 19 April 2024 and offers no MT4 or MT5 now. The Swap Free account opens at US$1, and the EUR/USD is a 1.1 pip live quote on the CFD account. XTB takes Malaysian residents through XTB International Limited in Belize.

Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) wrote on 12 July 2024 that “Forex trading, except those that are carried out with banks licensed by BNM, is illegal!” (BNM’s post). All the brokers on this page take Malaysian residents through companies licensed outside Malaysia, not by Malaysian regulators.
What is an Islamic forex account?
An Islamic or swap-free account, as our Islamic account guide explains, is a trading account at a forex and CFD broker that charges no overnight swap interest on positions held past the daily rollover, though a broker may charge an administration or holding fee instead. It is not an Islamic bank’s foreign-currency deposit account, the Account-i products, and it is not an Islamic share-dealing account. What replaces that interest, if anything, depends on the broker’s own terms.
How do swap-free terms compare between brokers?
Two of the five publish a fee in place of swap. TabTrade charges a service fee per average lot once after each seven calendar days, per its fee schedule, and IC Markets publishes a per-lot schedule of overnight holding fees, with grace days. Fintrix Markets, MultiBank Group and XTB state no fee amount, which does not show they charge none, and Fintrix Markets’ page says alternative charges or conditions may apply. Fintrix Markets and TabTrade gate the option by region. XTB states its swap-free accounts run for specific periods and not all products are swap free. Fintrix Markets names Zero, Standard and Cent; IC Markets names Raw Spread and Standard, on MT4, MT5 and cTrader. The chart below marks the platforms (MT4, MT5, cTrader, TradingView) each broker names on its own site.
What did the National Fatwa Committee rule on forex?
The 98th Muzakarah of the National Fatwa Committee, sitting 13 to 15 February 2012, ruled that individual spot forex trading on electronic platforms is haram (JAKIM’s i-FIQH record), and a swap-free account does not by itself change that ruling. This page compares swap-free terms between brokers and does not issue a religious ruling.
What does a swap-free account cost?
TabTrade states a service fee charged per average lot once after each seven calendar days, and IC Markets publishes a per-lot schedule of overnight holding fees, with grace days. The spread and any commission still apply, so a fee in place of swap adds to your costs. Fintrix Markets, MultiBank Group and XTB state no fee amount, which does not show they charge none. For spreads, see our Lowest Spread Forex Brokers in Malaysia (2026).
How to open a swap-free account in Malaysia
I would start with the table and pick a broker. Read the company named on the sign-up page, because that entity would hold your account. Check that the swap-free option covers Malaysian residents, since Fintrix Markets says eligible traders in selected regions and TabTrade says supported regions, and neither names the regions. Select the swap-free or Islamic account type at sign-up, or request it from the client area, as the broker’s own instructions say. Read the fee schedule and any time limit, because XTB states its swap-free account is available for specific periods. Practise on a demo first, and see our Best Forex Demo Accounts in Malaysia (2026).
How we check that a swap-free broker takes Malaysians
Each broker here except the two editors’ picks sits on our Malaysian list because a span on its own site names Malaysia as served, which our Malaysian list check read from a Malaysian connection on 29 and 30 September 2026. We also read each broker’s swap-free terms from its own site. Fintrix Markets and TabTrade are our editors’ picks, placed on the list by our editors. The full list is on our Best Forex Brokers in Malaysia (2026).
