Fordefi lets you manage exchange sub-accounts to streamline asset management and fund movements between Fordefi vaults and those sub-accounts. You can initiate fund transfers between Fordefi and exchange sub-accounts, view the hierarchical structure of exchange accounts (master account → sub-accounts), and apply policy and permission controls across this structure.
Note that each sub-account is treated as an independent vault with its own balance and credentials; no balance aggregation is performed.
The following exchanges are currently supported in Fordefi:
- Binance
- Bybit
- OKX
The following are the types of transfer that are currently supported:
- From one sub-account to another sub-account within the same master account.
- From a sub-account to its master account.
The following are currently not supported:
- Trading accounts
- Managed sub-accounts
You create sub-accounts in the Fordefi web console from within an existing exchange vault.
To open the exchange vault to which you wish to add sub-accounts, click Connected Accounts > Exchanges and choose the vault from the list that is displayed.

At the top right, click Actions > Add sub account.
A dialog displays the existing sub-accounts in the exchange vault.

Click Add for each sub-account you wish to add.
A field opens for it. Leave the name as-is, or rename it, as needed.

Click Save to add the selected sub-accounts to the master exchange.
