At any bank they charge interest on deposits & loans
24/7, 365 days of the year, so why should a broker be
any different.
But like differing banks, brokers too have their own TOS,
it is best to read them for your broker of choice.
Just as an example Oanda pay interest on your account, as
well as interest on open positions.
North Finance calculate their swap rate (carry, interest) for the
week-end on a Wednesday, so if you have open positions at
2200 hrs on a Wednesday you get charged 3X the carry.
Even as I type this it seems strange that all these brokers also
have a different name for interest, swap, carry, overnight interest.
All brokers have bid ask spread on their interest rates, called
borrowing & lending rates which results in a negative or positive
carry trade.
Brokers also tend to hide this infomation on their site, so a
full search needs to be done.
