Swap-free (Islamic) accounts: what is actually waived
A swap is the overnight financing charge on a leveraged position. A swap-free, or Islamic, account waives it, which is what makes the account usable under rules that forbid interest.
What is waived differs between brokers, and the difference matters: some waive the swap and charge an administration fee after a few nights instead, some limit swap-free status to certain instruments, and some grant it on request rather than by default. The broker pages here record the condition as the broker states it.
The ten below offer a swap-free account to residents of Nigeria.

"group" marks a figure the broker publishes for the group rather than for this country. It is shown because the broker states it, and it is not ranked, averaged or used to sort.
— the broker does not publish this figure; it is not read as a zero and it is not scored.
Pepperstone publishes a retail leverage of 1:200 without naming the entity that grants it, so the figure is marked group and left out of the leverage ranking and median.
The ten above illustrate the term. Swap-free (Islamic) brokers in Nigeria lists every broker that qualifies, with the figure each one publishes.
Identical for every row, so it is stated once: Who onboards Local · SEC Nigeria · Swap-free fee none, no limit · NGN account Yes.

How to read the ten below
- Start with the figure this page ranks on.
Every row here is ordered by computed score, highest first; unscored brokers follow. A broker that publishes no figure is shown without one rather than guessed at.
- Check which company would onboard you.
The same brand can take a resident of Nigeria through a locally licensed entity or an offshore one, and the leverage cap, the complaint route and the protection all follow the entity, not the brand.
- Read the cost beside the deposit.
The median round turn across this country is 6.5 USD and the median minimum deposit 30.0 USD; a low deposit beside a wide spread takes the difference back on every trade.

- This page explains the term; the ten illustrate it. The full ranking lists 51 of 81 and is one click away.
How this slice is scored

Risk warning and affiliate disclosure
CFDs are complex instruments with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. A swap-free account removes overnight interest, not market risk. We earn a commission on some links; paid rows are marked and never ranked first.
