We will not charge you extra fees for keeping your trading account open if you do not intend to use it at present. So you don’t have to close it and you can activate it whenever you want.
But if you do not place a trade; open or close positions; and/or deposit into your account for an extended period, your account will become inactive.
An inactivity fee of 10 USD will be charged monthly if your account has been inactive for more than three months (90 days) as per UK regulations. For FFS, the inactivity period is 365 days.
If you still wish to close your markets.com account, you can email your account closure request to account.deletion@markets.com.

One of the benefits of trading with a regulated company is that you know you are contracting with a reliable and reputable provider in a secure environment, which has strict rules and guidelines in place, protecting the interests of retail clients. Other legal obligations of a regulated company include, but are not limited to, ensuring financial services are provided efficiently, honestly and fairly, dealing with retail client money in a certain way and having dispute resolutions systems in place in case you are unsatisfied with our services.
However, please note that regulation is not an absolute guarantee of security or reliability. Additionally, being regulated does not change that trading in CFDs and Margin FX products carries a high degree of risk, and you may lose some or all of your invested capital.
All client funds are held in segregated bank accounts, to ensure maximum funds protection. For more information, please check our Regulation & Legal pack located at the footer of our page.
The protection and safeguarding of our clients personal and financial information is of utmost importance to us, therefore we take the highest of measurements when it comes to the security of our system. You may refer to our Privacy Policy statement for more information regarding your data held with us.
