No inactivity fee appears anywhere in Versus Trade's published documents. The Client Agreement (version 05.2025) and the legal documents listed on the broker's site name no inactivity, dormancy, account-maintenance or administration charge; the only charges the agreement names are spreads, commissions and swaps. That is an answer based on what the documents say as of 12 September 2026, and the agreement does allow the broker to change its terms.

The short version

Does Versus Trade charge an inactivity fee?

Not according to its own paperwork. Reading the Client Agreement in full — 53 pages, version 05.2025 — turns up no clause about inactivity, dormancy, account maintenance or administration charges. Neither does the published list of legal documents, which covers the client agreement, privacy and AML policies, risk disclosure, withdrawal policy, refund policy and best execution policy.

This matters because inactivity fees are common in this industry and widely assumed. Third-party reviews of small brokers often carry a generic monthly-charge line copied from elsewhere. For this broker, that line has no source in its documents.

What the agreement does charge for

Three things are named. Spreads, the difference between bid and ask on every trade. Commissions, which apply on the Raw Spread account at up to $3.00 per side, per lot. And swaps — the agreement defines a swap as the interest a trader pays or receives for holding a position overnight. A swap is the overnight rollover cost of carrying a position.

The Withdrawal Policy adds a fourth category that is easy to miss: withdrawal charges. The published method table shows 0%, but the policy reserves the right to charge fees depending on payment method, country and client categorisation, and to pass on an additional processing fee. Duties and taxes are the client's.

So an idle account with no open positions has nothing named that erodes it — but an idle account with a position still open keeps paying swaps, unless that instrument sits inside the swap-free level, which for a Singapore account is itself conditional.

If you are stepping away from the account

Check the version dates yourself. The documents are published as PDFs on the broker's legal documents page and each carries a date; the answer above is tied to Client Agreement 05.2025 and Withdrawal Policy 06.2025. A newer version can introduce a charge that did not exist before, and the agreement permits it.

If you intend to withdraw rather than idle, read the order of return first: card deposits go back to the card ahead of e-wallets, and bank transfers are processed last. Leaving a small balance to avoid that sequencing is a choice worth making deliberately, not by default.

Nothing here is a recommendation to leave money with the broker. An account outside the MAS framework carries counterparty risk that no fee schedule describes. Counterparty risk with an unlicensed-in-Singapore firm is not covered by any local scheme — the MAS Financial Institutions Directory shows which firms are.

Frequently asked questions

Does Versus Trade charge an inactivity fee?
No such fee appears in its published documents. The Client Agreement (05.2025) and the broker's legal documents name spreads, commissions and swaps as the charges, with withdrawal fees reserved in the Withdrawal Policy. Checked 12 September 2026.
Will my Versus Trade account be closed if I stop trading?
The published documents describe no dormancy closure process. If this matters to you, ask support in writing and keep the reply — the agreement allows the broker to amend its terms.
Do swaps still apply if I am not trading?
Yes, on any position left open overnight. The agreement defines a swap as interest paid or received for holding a position overnight; only instruments inside the swap-free level avoid it, and that level is conditional for a Singapore account.
How can I check this myself?
Open the legal documents page on the broker's site, download the Client Agreement and the Withdrawal Policy, and search them for "inactivity", "dormant" and "maintenance". Note the version date on the file you read.
