What is an inactivity fee?
An inactivity fee is a monthly charge that is levied only on your forex accounts if there has been no trading activity for a period of 12 months. The inactivity fee is not applicable to crypto accounts.
The inactivity period begins the moment you make your first deposit in a forex account and will be reset once you have an open position on the account. Thereafter, the inactivity period will be calculated again from the point at which there is no trading activity on your forex account. Please note, inactivity fees will not be charged when there is an open position on your forex account.
