ThinkMarkets Opens Japanese Operation after Obtaining JFSA License

ThinkMarkets, a premium multi-asset online brokerage, recently announced that it has started offering FX trading services in Japan after obtaining an Financial Instruments Business Operator license from the local financial market regulator, Financial Services Agency (JFSA).

Founded in 2010, the broker provides quick and easy access to a wide range of markets including forex, CFDs on equities, cryptocurrencies, commodities, indices, futures and more.

Obtaining the new license is part of ThinkMarkets' global expansion drive to enter the Japanese Forex market. It also means that traders based in Japan will soon gain access to the company's award-winning ThinkTrader platform.

With the new office opening in Tokyo, ThinkMarkets will serve its Japanese customers more locally. TF Global Markets Japan Ltd is the corporate name of ThinkMarkets' Japan office.

Further, ThinkMarkets has named an industry expert, Koike Kazuhiro as chief executive of the office. Kazuhiro's experience includes past leadership positions with the Nasdaq Japan Exchange, Credit Suisse Group, and publicly traded companies such as Traders Securities.

Nauman Anees, CEO of ThinkMarkets said:“Tokyo is one of the world’s largest foreign exchange trading hubs, so the expansion of our brokerage services offering with the addition of FX in Japan is an exciting milestone for us as we continue our global expansion.”
