About this FSA licence

What this authorisation is, what it establishes, and what it leaves open.

Plus500JP Securities Ltd. appears under number Kanto No.156 on the Japan FSA list of Financial Instruments Business Operators dated 30 September 2026. The Financial Services Agency of Japan (FSA) prints the number in Japanese as 関東財務局長(金商)第156号. Plus500JP Securities Ltd. is one of the registered companies behind the Plus500 brand. The list prints no status word and no expiry date. The list shows only that the registration was in place on 30 September 2026.

The FSA is the national financial regulator of Japan. Firms register with the FSA under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, and a regional finance bureau issues each number. The row for Plus500JP Securities Ltd. marks 2 permissions: Type I Financial Instruments Business and Securities-Related Business. The list gives no further wording for either permission.

An entry on the FSA list says nothing about the finances or conduct of a company. The list has no section for cancelled registrations, so a firm that loses a registration is simply missing from the next edition. The registration covers Plus500JP Securities Ltd. in Japan, not every Plus500 company or website.

In this check, the Japanese edition printed 30 September 2007 as the registration date. Many firms on the same page show 30 September 2007 too. A registration date is not a founding date. The row also printed the Japanese Corporate Number 2010001092422, the national ID number for a company. The Japanese edition also marks membership of 2 industry bodies, the Japan Securities Dealers Association and the Financial Futures Association of Japan. Membership of an industry body is not a licence.

To check the entry, open the list of Financial Instruments Business Operators on the FSA website. Look for number 156 in the Kanto Regional Finance Bureau section. A later edition can change the answer, for example if Plus500JP Securities Ltd. leaves the list or changes name.
