Closing your account

When you delete your trading account, you can no longer log into your markets.com trading account. This action cannot be undone.

Before submitting your request, please ensure that any open positions have been closed to avoid processing delays.

We will retain your data in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. Under these circumstances, your account will be terminated under the applicable Terms and Conditions, but your data will not be fully deleted as we have a statutory obligation to retain our clients’ data for at least five years.

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.
