JFSA: frequently asked questions

What protection does a JFSA licence give clients?
Registered operators follow Japanese conduct and client-asset rules, including segregation of client money. Japanese rules cap retail forex leverage (25:1). These are general facts about the regime; what applies to you depends on the licensed entity and your client category.
How many brokers list JFSA in your register?
13 of the brokers in our register list Japan Financial Services Agency (JFSA). Records are refreshed as new regulator information is checked, and a listing here is a pointer, not proof of a current licence.
How do I check a JFSA licence?
Open the JFSA website and search for the operator's name or registration number. Confirm the licensed legal entity matches the company in your account terms and that its status is current.
Does a licence mean a broker is safe?
No. A licence shows a regulator authorised a specific legal entity for specific activities. It does not guarantee the firm will not fail or treat clients fairly. Check the entity you actually contract with, and that its status is current.
