Inactivity Fee Notification Process Update
AvaTrade acknowledges that while our inactivity fee policy is clearly stated in our terms and conditions, the lack of proactive notification before fee application did not meet our own standards for client communication. We have implemented an automated email notification system that sends reminders at 60 days and 30 days before the inactivity threshold is reached. Clients who were charged without prior notification during the affected period have been offered fee refunds as a goodwill gesture.
IFCCI commends the platform's proactive remediation approach. The new notification system has been verified as operational. Fee refund program confirmed with the affected complainant.
