Do Admirals account types charge inactivity fees?
Yes, Admirals account types charge inactivity fees. The broker imposes a €10 monthly fee on trading accounts that have been inactive for 24 months or longer. This fee applies only to accounts with positive balances and serves as a maintenance charge for dormant accounts that remain on their system.
The inactivity fee at Admirals is specifically triggered after a full two years of account dormancy. The broker defines inactivity as the absence of any trading activity or open positions during this period. The fee structure remains consistent across different account types with the standard rate of €10 per month. Admirals will not charge this fee if the account balance is zero, which protects clients with empty accounts.
Demo accounts provided by Admirals are completely exempt from any charges as they operate with virtual funds rather than real money. Traders who experiment with strategies or learn platform features through these trial accounts will never incur Admirals fees regardless of how long they leave these accounts dormant. These demo accounts typically expire after 30 days unless the user opens a live account, but even expired demo accounts generate no financial obligations.
