IC updates holding fees on swap-free accounts
IC (formerly IC Markets) has announced an update to the holding fees applied to its swap free trading accounts, signaling a recalibration of costs associated with positions held open for extended periods.
The company said the adjustments are part of its ongoing effort to maintain transparent and fair trading conditions while continuing to deliver high quality services to clients.
Swap-free accounts, often used by traders seeking alternatives to overnight interest charges, operate without traditional swap or rollover fees. Instead, positions held beyond a specified period may incur fixed holding fees. IC confirmed that these holding fees have been recently revised, though the firm directed clients to its official website for detailed schedules and instrument specific rates.
What the update means for traders
The adjustment affects clients trading on swap free accounts across eligible instruments. Holding fees typically apply when positions remain open beyond a predefined number of days, depending on the asset class. By updating these rates, IC appears to be aligning account conditions with current market dynamics and liquidity considerations.
The company emphasized that transparency remains central to its operating model. Clients are encouraged to review the updated fee structure in the Swap Free Accounts section of the website to understand how changes may affect open or future positions.
How to open a swap free account with IC:
1. Register for a live trading account.
2. Complete verification requirements.
3. Request swap free account status if eligible.
4. Review holding fee terms before placing trades.
Platform context and client access
IC provides access to Forex, commodities, indices and other CFDs through platforms such as MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5 and cTrader. The firm is widely known for competitive spreads, fast execution speeds and access to deep liquidity pools, serving both retail and institutional traders globally.
As global interest rate environments and funding costs fluctuate, adjustments to holding fee structures may become more common across the industry.
