Registration / business category — Use this reference to find the official record. A matching number alone does not establish permission for the service you will use.

Plain-language guide to the terms
  1. Choose the country and regulator

    A regulator oversees financial services. The same abbreviation can refer to different authorities in different countries.

  2. Check the contracting company

    The legal entity is the company named in your agreement. Its name may differ from the trading brand.

  3. Read the official record

    A licence concerns a specific company and activities. Check its name, reference number and permitted services together.

Three things to compare

Keep your agreement and the official register side by side as you check these items.

  1. The contracting company

    Match the company named in your account agreement, not just the trading brand.

  2. The authority’s record

    Check the legal name, number and listed contact details. Distinguish this from company incorporation.

  3. The service you will use

    Read the business category, permissions and restrictions. Leave unresolved points marked as unconfirmed.

How to check the record

  1. Confirm that the claim concerns Japan.

  2. Select the business category in the official list.

  3. Match the entity and retain the referenced list and date.

Before you rely on a licence

Where should I start in Japan FSA’s lists?

Japan's Financial Services Agency publishes lists by business category, including Financial Instruments Business Operators. Choose the relevant category before matching the legal entity.

Does a licence cover every company in a group?

No. Check the exact contracting entity and the relevant service. A brand can use more than one legal entity.

Does an unconfirmed record mean a company is unlicensed?

No. Missing or inconclusive evidence means we have not established the claim. It is not a finding of unlawful conduct.
