Is Exness safe to use in Japan?

A broker’s security is largely defined by its regulatory status. Exness is supervised by a Tier-1 authority, which is considered the highest level of oversight in the financial industry. Such brokers must comply with strict requirements on capital, transparency, and client fund protection. In addition, the presence of an Investor Compensation Fund and a proven track record in financial markets further strengthen trust. According to our methodology, Exness received a Regulation and safety score of 8.1/10, placing it among the most secure brokers.

  • Licensing in Japan

    The primary regulator for securities and financial instruments in Japan is the Financial Services Agency (FSA). They oversee brokers and investment firms. The main requirements for licensees are:

    • сapital sufficiency
    • compliance officer
    • internal controls
    • Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Client (KYC) procedures
    • business plan and financial statements
    • registration with self-regulatory organizations (SROs)

  • Investor protection in Japan

    Japan offers several measures to protect investors. The FSA oversees market activities, investigates misconduct, and enforces regulations to ensure fair markets. Also it offers educational resources and tools to help investors understand the risks and make informed investment decisions. The Japan Investor Protection Fund (JIPF) provides limited compensation to investors in case of brokerage bankruptcies (up to JPY 10 million per investor).

  • Taxation in Japan

    Foreign exchange gains are considered miscellaneous income according to Japanese tax laws. Traders in Japan are subject to a 20% tax rate on income derived from foreign exchange and stock trading.

Expert Advice

Anton Kharitonov
Anton Kharitonov
Chief Analytics Officer

  • Based on my observations, understanding the restrictions imposed by different regulatory bodies is crucial for international traders. For instance, US-based traders face strict leverage limits imposed by the CFTC, which may not align with the strategies of traders in Europe or Asia, where higher leverage is permitted under regulators like CySEC or ASIC. Before selecting a broker, carefully consider how these regulatory differences could impact your trading style.
