Unregistered Firms

Alert

A collection of public information published by Japan's Financial Services Agency regarding firms and individuals conducting financial instruments business without registration (warning notices, etc.). Listings follow a policy of mechanical and comprehensive collection of published materials, without arbitrary selection. The inclusion criterion is "information on warning notices issued by the Financial Services Agency against firms or individuals conducting financial instruments business without registration (whether domestic or based overseas)," and no exclusion criterion is applied. See Data Sources for our primary sources.

Note:The cases listed on this page are collected mechanically and comprehensively from information such as warning notices published by the Financial Services Agency, Local Finance Bureaus, and other authorities, to the extent we have been able to confirm them. Firms and individuals not listed on this page may still be engaging in similar conduct, such as conducting financial instruments business without registration. Inclusion or exclusion on this page does not determine or guarantee the legality or safety of any specific firm or individual.

For the most up-to-date registration status, please check public sources directly, such as the list of registered financial instruments business operators published on the Financial Services Agency website.
