Gungin: FSA licence 関東財務局長（金商）第2938号 (Kanto Local Finance Bureau, Kinsho, No. 2938)

No. Gungin Securities offers no third party trading platform, and none is recorded for it. Dealing runs through the firm's own online service at online.gunginsec.co.jp, which an existing account holder applies for separately on paper, and through telephone instructions and branch counters.

Normally the next business day. Withdrawals are instructed by telephone or through the online service and go only to a deposit account pre-registered in the client's own name; an instruction received before 16:00 is transferred the next business day as a rule, while a later one may take the business day after that. A withdrawal to a Gunma Bank branch account is free, and one to another institution carries the firm's prescribed fee, which the firm does not publish as an amount.

Gungin Securities charges commission rather than a dealing spread. The main published costs are:

• Japanese shares, ETFs, REITs and domestic convertible bonds: a tiered commission on the executed amount, tax included, minimum 2,750 yen, from 1.430% up to 500,000 yen and tapering in steps to 0.055% plus 205,150 yen above 50 million yen, capped at 330,000 yen.
• Foreign shares routed to an overseas market: a domestic intermediary commission from 1.430%, plus the local commission, around 0.25% on US shares, and local charges. Bought over the counter from the firm instead, there is no separate commission, because the quoted price is set about 2.5% away from the mid price.
• Currency conversion: 50 sen per US dollar below 100,000 units, 25 sen from 100,000 units and 10 sen from 1 million units. Transferring securities out to another institution costs 1,100 yen per issue and up.

The full schedule is on the firm's commission page.

Gungin Securities does not publish a minimum deposit, and none is recorded for any of its accounts. Funding is by bank transfer and no per transfer minimum or maximum is published either. What it does publish is a minimum commission of 2,750 yen including tax on a domestic share trade, which sets a practical floor on the cost of trading rather than on the amount deposited.

Nothing in the firm's published material or in the official record supports that. Its registration as a Financial Instruments Business Operator is confirmed on the regulator's own register under the number its website also prints, the operating company has a verifiable Japanese corporate number, it is owned by an established regional bank, and it staffs physical offices rather than trading only online. Client money moves only between named bank accounts belonging to the client. A registration confirms that the firm is registered; it is not a guarantee about any investment outcome.

Gungin Securities Co., Ltd. (ぐんぎん証券株式会社) is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Gunma Bank. It was incorporated on 16 February 2016, holds Japanese corporate number 6070001031858, and works from offices inside Gunma Bank premises, with four branches and three representative offices in Gunma prefecture and one more in Saitama. It is a separate company from the bank: the bank is a long established regional bank, while the securities firm dates only from 2016 and marked its tenth year of business in October 2026.

Yes. Gungin Securities Co., Ltd. is registered as a Financial Instruments Business Operator under Japan's Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, numbered Kanto Regional Finance Bureau (FIBO) No.2938, and that registration is confirmed on the Financial Services Agency's own register. The entry carries Type I Financial Instruments Business, the category covering securities broking, and took effect on 15 July 2016. The same number is printed in the footer of the firm's own website.

Gungin Securities does not publish a list of restricted countries, and no individual country is named anywhere on its site as one it refuses to serve. In practice the service is limited to residents of Japan: opening an account requires a My Number together with Japanese identity documents showing name, address and date of birth, and the application is made on paper through a branch. Its online service states separately that people not residing in Japan cannot apply.

Account opening is a paper application made through a branch rather than an online form. Gungin Securities asks for a My Number, evidenced by an individual number card, notification card or resident register copy, together with Japanese identity documents showing name, address and date of birth: an individual number card, driving licence, passport bearing an address field, residence card or special permanent resident certificate. A passport with no address field is expressly not accepted, and the firm states it may decline an application that does not meet its account opening criteria.

Gungin Securities is a securities firm, not a foreign exchange broker. Its published commission schedule covers Japanese shares, ETFs, REITs and domestic convertible bonds, plus foreign shares either routed to an overseas market or bought over the counter from the firm, and it also offers bonds, investment trusts and a fund wrap service. Its registration is as a Financial Instruments Business Operator carrying Type I Financial Instruments Business, which is a securities permission rather than a retail foreign exchange one, and no FX or CFD offering is recorded for it.

No. Japanese is the only support language recorded for Gungin Securities, and its website is published in Japanese only. Telephone support runs Monday to Friday from 09:00 to 17:00 JST on +81 27-289-2188, with live chat during the same business hours, and each branch and representative office publishes its own number.

No maximum leverage is published for Gungin Securities, and none is recorded in its trading conditions. Its registration covers securities business rather than retail margin foreign exchange, and the costs it publishes are brokerage commissions on share and bond trades rather than margin, swap or leverage terms.

Two channels, and both are bank transfers through Gunma Bank. Deposits can be made by yen transfer to a client specific account at Gunma Bank's remittance concentration branch, with the incoming transfer fee borne by Gungin Securities, or through the Account Transfer Quick Service, a free debit from the client's own Gunma Bank ordinary deposit account that credits the trading account immediately and is handled between 09:00 and 17:00. The quick service is for deposits only and takes about two weeks to set up. No card, electronic wallet or cryptocurrency funding is recorded.
