Ask for your deposit back without having traded much, and Prime OTP can keep up to 10% of it. Clause 5.7 calls that an administrative processing fee, and it comes out before the money reaches you.
Why this matters
Put in $1,000, change your mind before trading, and you can get back $900. The fee lands on your own capital, not on a profit. Clause 5.7 does not say who decides the rate inside that cap.
Exhibit 1Every flagged clause gets its own number so you can point at this one. The number does not change, so a link to it keeps working.CriticalHow much this clause can cost you, in our reading. Critical can take your money or your profit. Warning can delay or limit it. Notice is simply worth knowing before you sign.Rarely seenHow ordinary this wording looks next to the contracts we read. This is our reading of the clause, not a count of other brokers.10%The figure this clause puts a number on, taken from the broker's own words.
Where a withdrawal request relates primarily or entirely to capital funds with no corresponding trading record, and following completion of any required AML/CFT review, Prime OTP Ltd reserves the right to levy an administrative processing fee of up to ten percent (10%) of the withdrawal amount.
Where it sits: section 29 of 62 in the Client Agreement, 47% of the way through.We counted the numbered sections in the Client Agreement. This clause sits in section 29 of 62, about 47% of the way through. A fee written on the first page and the same fee written near the end are not the same disclosure.
What it costsThe same clause worked out on a round number, so you can see it in money or in days. It is an example, not a quotation.A $1,000 deposit returned with no trading record can have $100 deducted, leaving $900. The deduction happens before the release of funds.
Firms licensed by the FCA or CySEC must hold retail client money so that it can be returned to the client, and they pay for their own compliance checks. This contract lets Prime OTP take up to 10% of the returning capital once that check is done.
Prime OTP is not licensed by these regulators, so this is a comparison of practice, not a finding of any breach.
Our readingOur own comment on the clause, not the broker's words. Anything we quote is marked as a quotation.Brokers commonly charge a flat wire cost or a card processing cost. A percentage of the client's own capital, charged for finishing the firm's own anti money laundering review, works as a penalty for not trading.
- Worse together with Exhibit 2Read these two clauses together. Each one costs more because the other exists.The same clause pair that opens the review also sets the fee, so one decision you cannot appeal controls both the delay and the price of leaving.
