What happens to my open positions when I close my Plus500 account?

All open CFD positions must be closed before you can close your account. Plus500 will not close positions on your behalf — you must do this manually from your portfolio.

Are there fees for withdrawing or closing my Plus500 account?

Plus500 doesn't charge a direct account closure fee. However, inactivity fees apply if you haven't traded for 3 months. Withdrawal fees depend on your payment method.

How long does it take to close a Plus500 account?

Account closure is usually processed within 1–3 business days after you submit the request. Fund withdrawals may take an additional 1–5 business days.

Retention Tips

Before closing your Plus500 account, keep in mind that there's no monthly subscription fee — you only incur costs when you trade (spread-based). If you're not actively trading, your account can remain dormant at no cost for up to 3 months. You might consider keeping the account open for future opportunities without any ongoing commitment.
