As an experienced trader, I approach brokers like Ando Securities with particular attention to their fee structures, as hidden or unclear fees can impact the overall trading experience. Based on my thorough review of the available information, I could not identify any explicit reference to inactivity fees charged by Ando Securities. The broker's published fee schedule details standard commissions for domestic stock trades, interest rates, and miscellaneous charges such as stock lending and name change fees. However, there is no mention of a dedicated inactivity fee or maintenance charge for dormant accounts. In my experience, the absence of such information does not automatically guarantee that inactivity fees do not exist; it may simply mean the broker has not made this aspect prominent or transparent in publicly accessible documents. For me, that lack of clarity means I proceed with caution. Before opening an account or making a deposit—especially given Ando Securities’ relatively high minimum funding requirements—I would recommend directly clarifying this point with their customer service team. It's worth noting that their online customer support is only available during Japanese business hours on weekdays, which may require planning for international clients. As always, I advocate confirming all possible charges in writing to minimize surprises and ensure the trustworthy handling of my funds.
