Does the Headway Islamic account charge any alternative fees instead of swap?

Some brokers charge an 'administration fee' as a substitute for swaps on Islamic accounts. You should confirm Headway's current Islamic account terms directly with support (care@hw.site) before activating, as terms may vary by account type and instrument. The swap-free designation eliminates the standard overnight interest charge, but verify whether any alternative charges apply for very long-held positions.

Can I get the $111 no deposit bonus with an Islamic account on Headway?

Yes. The $111 no deposit bonus is available to all new Headway accounts including Islamic swap-free accounts. You can activate the bonus after registering your account and completing KYC. The swap-free status does not affect bonus eligibility. Trading volume requirements to unlock bonus profits are the same as for standard accounts.

What Is the Headway Broker Islamic Swap-Free Account?

The Headway Islamic account is a special trading account designation that eliminates overnight swap (interest) charges on all open positions — making it compliant with Shariah principles that prohibit riba.

In standard forex trading, holding a position overnight incurs a swap fee — essentially an interest charge based on the interest rate differential between the two currencies in the pair. Islamic finance (Shariah law) prohibits the payment or receipt of riba (interest or usury) in any financial transaction.

Headway Broker's Islamic account eliminates these swap charges entirely. Positions can be held overnight without incurring any interest-based fees. All other trading conditions — spreads, leverage, instruments, and platform access — remain identical to the standard account of the same type.

Important religious note: Removing swap fees addresses the riba element of forex trading. Whether speculative forex trading itself is halal is a separate and actively debated question among Islamic scholars. Traders should consult a qualified Islamic finance scholar before trading. Headway's Islamic account removes the interest element — the permissibility of speculation is a personal religious determination.

How to Activate the Headway Broker Islamic Swap-Free Account

Activating the Islamic account status on Headway is simple and typically takes only a few hours.

Register a New Headway Account or Log in to Your Existing Account

If you don't have a Headway account yet, register at the link below. If you already have an account, log in to your dashboard at hw.site. Both new and existing accounts can apply for Islamic swap-free status.

Open Headway Account

Complete KYC Verification First

Before requesting Islamic account status, ensure your KYC verification is complete — upload your government-issued ID and proof of address. This is required regardless of account type and is a regulatory requirement under FSCA rules.

💡 KYC typically approves within 1-2 hours. Complete this before requesting swap-free status to avoid delays.

Contact Headway Support to Request Islamic Account Designation

Go to your dashboard and open live chat, or send an email to care@hw.site with the subject "Islamic Account Request." State your account number and request that your account be switched to Islamic (swap-free) status. Headway typically processes this within a few hours during business hours.

💡 Sample message: "Hello, I would like to request Islamic swap-free status for my account [YOUR ACCOUNT NUMBER]. Please apply this to my [Cent/Standard/Pro] account. Thank you."

Confirm the Swap-Free Status on Your MT4/MT5 Account

After Headway applies the Islamic status, log in to MetaTrader 4 or 5. Open a position and hold it overnight. Check the swap column in your trade history — it should show 0.00 for all instruments. If any swap charge appears, contact support immediately to verify the Islamic status was correctly applied.
