    What is a dormant account?
    1. What is a dormant account? 
      Ans: A dormant account refers to an account with no active behavior in the past 12 months. According to regulatory requirements, such accounts require special management.

    1. What actions are considered active behavior? 
      Ans:
    • Financial behavior: Deposits, withdrawals, placing orders, and successfully completing transactions (including contract trading).
    • Non-financial behavior:
      • Logging into the account.

    1. Which accounts will be marked as dormant? 
      Ans:
    • Marking conditions: Accounts that have had no active behavior (e.g., trading, transfers, logging in) for the past 12 months.
    • Applicable accounts: All primary accounts (personal/corporate) that have completed full KYC verification. Activity in sub-accounts will count toward the primary account (the primary account’s status is affected by sub-account activity), if applicable.
    Non-applicable accounts: Authorized administrator and authorized trader accounts.

    1. What is the handling process for dormant accounts?
    • Advance notification:
      1. After 305 consecutive days of inactivity, email reminders will be sent (starting from the 10th month, once a month, up to 2 reminders in total).
      2. Reminders will stop once any active behavior is completed.
    • Formal dormant status marking:
      1. Accounts with no active behavior for 12 consecutive months will be marked as dormant.
      2. Dormant accounts may have deposit, withdrawal, and trading functions restricted.
    • Follow-up actions for dormant accounts:
      1. Long-term dormancy (12 months): Accounts will be suspended, and all functions disabled.
