inactivity fee
Idle account penalty
An inactivity fee is a charge imposed when an account sits dormant—no deposits, withdrawals, or transactions for a specified period.
Banks, brokerages, and gift card issuers commonly levy these fees, gradually draining balances from forgotten accounts: I hadn't used the card in two years and they'd taken forty dollars in inactivity fees.
