Based on my close analysis of Citadel Securities, I have not found any clear information or direct references to swap-free or Islamic account options being offered to individual traders. My own experience navigating their official channels confirms that Citadel Securities functions primarily as a global market maker, regulated in Hong Kong with a track record extending 15-20 years. Their services are generally targeted at financial institutions, banks, and large-scale entities, focusing on equities, options, fixed income, and FX. This institutional focus means they may not provide the retail-level customizations, such as swap-free accounts, that many individual traders, particularly those requiring Sharia-compliant terms, might expect from more retail-oriented brokers. Regulation by the Hong Kong SFC does ensure their legitimacy and operational oversight, which is a crucial safety factor in my assessment. However, when considering their specific account types, I found no direct mentioning of Islamic accounts or any reference indicating accommodation for interest-free trading conditions. As a trader who always ensures any offered account matches my needs and values, I would proceed cautiously and contact their support for confirmation before considering them if swap-free options are a necessity. In summary, based on all available evidence and my own due diligence, I would not assume Citadel Securities offers a swap-free account unless directly verified.
