## Types of Subaccounts

**“Personal” type** — an additional account linked to your existing account. You can create several subaccounts to test trading strategies and reduce risks.

**“Managed” type** — an additional account created under your main account, which allows you to:

* retain full control over your assets;
* split investment portfolios;
* grant traders access only to trading via API keys.

> ⚠️ **Important!** Withdrawals are not available for this type. Only the main account owner can perform withdrawal operations for funds held in such accounts.\
> For “Managed” accounts, you can set up a **separate login and password** for access.

{% hint style="info" %}
The account type (**Personal** or **Managed**) cannot be changed after creation.

### FAQ

**How to unfreeze a subaccount?**\
Click **… → Freeze** → confirm in the modal window.

**How to reset a subaccount password?**\
Through the **“Change password”** modal: **… → Settings → Change password for subaccount** → confirm in the modal.

**Can a subaccount configure its own Risk Manager?**\
Yes. The Risk Manager of the **main account** and the **subaccount** are independent.\
\&#xNAN;*We are also working on enabling centralized Risk Manager configuration for “Managed” accounts from the main account, disabling control from the subaccount side.*

**Which pages are available to a subaccount?**

* **Wallet**
* **Orders and Positions**
* **Commissions**
* **History**
* **Trader’s Journal** (*Dashboard, Summary, My Trades*)
* **Risk Manager**

**Can a subaccount transfer funds by itself?**\
No. Subaccounts have **no access** to **Deposit**, **Transfer**, or **Withdrawal** pages. If you need to top up a subaccount balance, this can only be done via the main account.

**Will there be a fee for transfers between subaccounts in Tiger X mode?**

* If the transfer is between **X OKX** main account and **X OKX** subaccount (and vice versa) or between **X Binance** main account and **X Binance** subaccount (and vice versa) — **no fee**.
* If the transfer is between **X OKX** main account and **X Binance** subaccount (and vice versa) or between **X Binance** main account and **X OKX** subaccount (and vice versa) — a **transfer fee applies**.

**Referral Program Specifics**

* If a user creates a **Personal sub-account**, the referral conditions of the main account apply.
  * Example: If the main account is a referral, the Personal sub-account will receive the same benefits as the main account. The partner (referrer) will also receive rewards both from the main account and its Personal sub-accounts.
* If a user creates a **Managed sub-account**, it follows the referral principle (parent = partner, sub = referral).
  * Example: If the main account is a referral, then the Managed sub-account becomes a referral of the main account itself. Such a sub-account has no connection to the main account’s partner.
* Sub-accounts are **not supported** in the Team program.<br>
