Musaffa Global Halal Investing Platform Service Excluded Fee Schedule

At Musaffa, our mission is to provide services at the lowest possible cost. While many of our core services are designed to be affordable, some additional services come with direct costs that we cannot fully cover. In those cases, the services are not free, but we work hard to make them as inexpensive as possible so our customers still benefit from low prices while we continue to offer those services sustainably.

The fees itemized in this Excluded Fee Schedule reflect amounts charged by Alpaca Securities LLC, third-party broker-dealer, which provides custody, clearing, and settlement services, in connection with your account. Musaffa passes these fees through to clients at cost, except where it expressly states that Musaffa absorbs the fee in full.

Fees are calculated on the exact executed share quantity (including fractional shares), aggregated daily on a per-account basis, and the aggregated total is rounded up to the nearest cent.

Equities (NMS) $0.000003 per share (1:1 ratio)
Equities (OTC) $0.000003 per share (1:0.01 ratio)

Musaffa absorbs these Regulatory Trading Fees and FINRA Consolidated Audit Trail (CAT) Fees assessed by Alpaca Securities LLC on eligible trades. These regulatory trading fees are not charged to Musaffa’s client accounts.
