What is Sub-Account?
Sub-accounts are the subsidiary accounts created and managed by its main account, for the purposes of fund isolation, risk isolation, and policy monitoring, etc. Sub-accounts are often used in conjunction with APIs to enable automated and efficient transactions.
Each main account can create up to 20 sub-accounts and has complete control over them. Also, different access permissions can be set for different sub-accounts.
However, the deposit and withdrawal services are not available for sub-accounts, and all created sub-accounts can only be disabled, but not deleted.
