ThinkMarkets Now in Japan

ThinkMarkets has launched its services in Japan. Local users can now use its platform to trade forex. The services are currently offered through its native mobile app and the company has been licensed from the JFSA for domestic operation.

The move comes after about a year of acquisition of Japan Affiliate, a Japanese FX firm. During the same time, it gained the license of JFSA to operate in Japan and opened an office in the capital city Tokyo.

The company's Japan unit chief executive officer said they are proud to expand the business in Japan that has a regulated and rigorous financial system and it is hoped the company may revitalize the market with enhanced strengths.

Japan is among the largest markets globally with respect to volume in retail forex trading. The market is mainly driven by local giants, but lately, international brokers are showing interest in it.

ThinkMarkets claim to have a significant user base in the country as its app has been used for analysis and charting by Japanese traders.

ThinkMarkets CEO and co-founder Nauman Anees said their app is equipped with a unique proposition featuring a streamlined user interface, super-fast execution speed and sophisticated charting capabilities. It is believed the company is capable of meeting the expectations of Japanese clients.

Anees added further that they have an outstanding customer support team and the app is enabled with proprietary technology that is capable of scaling up the offerings efficiently and quickly in new markets.

Lately, ThinkMarkets secured funding of $30 million from Mars Growth, which is a joint venture of MUFG and Liquidity Group. The proceeds are said to be used in expanding the business in various verticals and in several jurisdictions.
