Octa's approach to Islamic-friendly trading

The recently received 'Best Islamic-Friendly Broker Indonesia 2024' accolade cements Octa's position as a trusted service provider in the Indonesian e-brokerage sector. Finance Derivative presented the award as part of its annual recognition of excellence in the financial sector. This achievement reinforces Octa's solid position in Islamic finance within Indonesia's rapidly expanding financial services landscape.

Octa's efforts towards creating an Islamic-friendly trading environment encompass Sharia-friendly trading conditions, including: 

- no swaps or hidden fees 

- transparent and consistent retail trading due to a robust anti-money laundering policy and user verification procedure

- superior client data and funds security due to international licences and segregated accounts.

Charity is one of Islam's pillars. With that in mind, Octa continuously contributes to social causes by carrying out various charity projects. In 2024, Octa supported the celebration of a sacred Muslim holiday, Eid al-Adha, by joining forces with IDEP Foundation and feeding more than 400 people at Banyubiru village, Jembrana, Bali. Another charity initiative funded by Octa was the 2024 Bali Water Protection Forum, where the broker sponsored onsite workshops, a thematic exhibition, and logistics services for the event.
