Inactivity fees with OANDA Australia

An inactivity fee is a monthly charge that is levied on your account if there has been no trading activity for a period of 12 months. This inactivity period begins the moment you make your first deposit and will be reset once you have an open position on your account, and thereafter will begin to run from the point at which there is no trading activity on your account. Please note, inactivity fees will not be charged when there is an open position on your account.

When inactivity fees are due, they are levied first on the client’s sub-account with the smallest balance and continue to be debited from sub-accounts until a maximum of  $10 AUD per client has been debited each month. The amount claimed is converted to each sub-account’s home currency.

Inactivity fees will be applied to inactive accounts on the third last weekday of each month.

Levying of inactivity fees will not result in a negative balance on any of your accounts.

Your account will be charged until one of the following conditions are met:

• You close your account

• You resume trading on your account

• The balance on your account is reduced to zero.

If you have resumed trading after inactivity fees have been levied, you can request a rebate of up to 3 months’ worth of the inactivity fees based on how many months you have been charged.
