You need a main account to deposit and withdraw funds. A sub-account is useful when you want to separate strategies, desks, or teams. Utila can connect to both and you can move funds between them.
Term | Explanation |
Main Account | The primary exchange account. Holds overall control and permissions. Required for withdrawals and funding external wallets (like Utila). |
Sub-Account | A “child” account created under a main account. Useful for separating strategies, desks, or teams. Has its own balances and trading activity, but withdrawals must go through the main account. |
Connectivity | Utila can connect to both main accounts and sub-accounts via API keys. Some sub-accounts are not supported, based on specific exchange integration. |
Transfers | Moving funds between sub-accounts and between main ↔ sub is supported. External withdrawals (to a Utila wallet) are supported in most cases only from the main account. |
Utila displays exchange connections in the following format:
Connection Name / Account Name / Trading Account
