As someone who is always meticulous about broker fee structures, I made it a priority to investigate whether Mizuho FX imposes inactivity fees on accounts. While assessing their background and platform on the available pages, I was unable to find any explicit mention of inactivity fees or the specific conditions under which such fees would be charged. The absence of information regarding inactivity costs is not uncommon among Japanese brokers, especially those with a more traditional reputation. In my experience, established companies like Mizuho Securities Co., Ltd., which is regulated in Japan and has been operating for more than five years, tend to provide transparent pricing for major trading activities. However, ancillary fees—like those for inactive accounts—can sometimes be less prominently disclosed, requiring extra diligence when opening or maintaining an account. For me, it’s essential to either confirm directly with their official support or consult their most up-to-date client agreement before deciding to let an account remain dormant. This caution is necessary, as unexpected inactivity fees can erode balances over time. Given that Mizuho FX is a large, regulated Japanese broker, I feel somewhat reassured, but I would still recommend that anyone trading with them reach out to customer service for clarity on this matter before going inactive for an extended period. This approach helps avoid any unintended costs simply due to inactivity.
