What is a sub-account?
A sub-account is a lower-level account that’s placed under your existing account (also known as Parent Account). All sub-accounts created will be managed by its respective parent account.

How to create a sub-account? *Please note: A sub-account can only be created and managed on AscendEX’s official website via a PC. 
       1. Log in to your AscendEX parent account. Click on the profile icon in the upper right corner of the
           Home page and click on [Sub-accounts]. (Please note, sub-accounts can only be created under the
           parent account with KYC level   2 verified and Google 2FA authenticated.)

How to manage your sub-accounts within a parent account?
1.Basic Operations 

  1. Bind an email/phone and enable Google 2FA authentication for a sub-account. After that, you can log in to the sub-account and receive notifications via the email/phone bound to the sub-account.
    Please note:
  • Phone/Email bound to a parent account cannot be used for binding to sub-accounts and vice versa;
  • You can only log in to a sub-account or receive notifications via the phone/email bound to the parent account, if you don’t bind an email/phone to the sub-account. And in this scenario, the parent account mentioned above should have been verified by both binding an email/phone and enabling Google 2FA authentication.

    2. You can complete the following operations for sub-accounts via their parent account.

  • Freeze Accounts – Use “Freeze Account” or “Unfreeze Account” features to discontinue or resume a sub-account; (Closing an existing sub-account is temporarily not supported on AscendEX.)
  • Password Modification – Modify the password for sub-accounts.
  • Create API’s – Apply for an API key for a sub-account.

2. Asset Management
     1. Click on “Transfer” to manage all of your assets in parent accounts and all the sub-accounts.
