Here’s exactly what you need to know about eToro’s inactivity fee. Let’s discuss this further because yes, this one can sneak up on you.
If you don’t log in for 12 straight months (no trading, no peeking at your portfolio, not even a quick check-in), your account is flagged as inactive. That’s when the fee kicks in.
Inactive = no login for one full year.
Penalty? That's $10 each month, which is deducted automatically.
It’s monthly. Not once a year and not spread out. Just a flat $10 charge until one of two things happens:
And this is important for you to know: eToro doesn’t close your trades to cover this fee. It only draws from your available funds.
Log in. That’s it.
Even if you don’t place trades or make deposits, just logging into your account is enough to reset the 12-month timer.
If your account’s collecting dust, that $10 fee quietly chips away at your balance. Especially if you’re sitting on a small amount.
So here’s your move: mark your calendar, set a yearly reminder, or just check your portfolio now and then. Because avoiding the inactivity fee is as simple as showing up once a year.
