At Templer, we have been committed to providing a seamless and reliable trading experience for over 20 years. Throughout this time, we have safeguarded our clients' accounts without imposing any inactivity fees. However, to ensure the continued efficiency of our platform and the best trading conditions for all clients, we are introducing a nominal inactivity fee for dormant accounts.
What Is an Inactivity Fee?
An inactivity fee is a small charge applied to trading accounts that have had no trading activity, deposits, or withdrawals for an extended period (6 months or more). If an account remains inactive beyond this duration, a minimal fee of $7.5 may be deducted from the balance.
Why Is an Inactivity Fee Necessary?
Operational Costs
Even inactive accounts require maintenance, including server storage, security monitoring, and regulatory compliance. The fee helps cover these ongoing operational expenses.
Liquidity & Resource Management
A large number of inactive accounts can affect the platform’s efficiency. The fee ensures that resources are allocated primarily to active traders who engage in the market.
Encouraging Active Trading
The forex market thrives on liquidity. Encouraging traders to remain active ensures a dynamic and efficient trading environment.
Regulatory & Compliance Requirements
Financial service providers must comply with regulations that involve monitoring all accounts, even inactive ones. The fee helps offset compliance costs.
Account Security & Fraud Prevention
Dormant accounts are more vulnerable to unauthorized access and fraudulent activity. Keeping accounts active reduces security risks.
How Can Traders Avoid the Inactivity Fee?
Placing at least one trade within the inactivity period.
Making a deposit or withdrawal.
Contacting support to request an account review if planning a temporary break.
At Templer, we value our traders and always aim to keep our fees transparent and fair. The inactivity fee is in place to maintain a high-quality trading environment while keeping operational costs in check.
