Exness has obtained multiple financial licenses to ensure a high level of operational security. Since its founding in 2008, one of the reasons Exness has continued to be trusted by so many traders is its high level of security. Exness provides services with a strong focus on security so that customers can trade with peace of mind.
Exness also strictly manages the valuable funds entrusted to us by our clients to prevent any unauthorized outflows. Please rest assured that we have implemented systems to ensure that deposits, withdrawals, and fund transfers are not used for criminal activities such as money laundering. Exness is highly regarded by our clients, and our strength lies in enabling you to enjoy safe and dynamic trading.
Although Exness offers a unique trading environment not found at other international FX brokers, some people may want to read trader reviews before deciding whether to open an account. Here, we’ll introduce four positive reviews from Exness users.
At Exness, leverage of up to 2,000 times(*) is available to help clients trade with greater capital efficiency. Typically, overseas FX brokers set their maximum leverage at 500 or 1,000 times.
In addition, Exness has adopted a 0% stop-out level as a safety measure to protect clients' assets.
While many overseas FX brokers typically force the liquidation of positions when the margin maintenance ratio falls between 20% and 50%, Exness allows you to hold onto your positions right up until the very moment your margin runs out.
By weathering temporary sharp market fluctuations, you may be able to profit from a market reversal. Exness provides a trading environment where those who are attracted to high leverage but have concerns about safety can trade with confidence.
(*) Leveraged trading involves high risk, and you may lose all of your invested capital. Please ensure you fully understand the risks before trading.
At Exness, we offer industry-leading swap-free accounts for clients engaged in swing trading and medium- to long-term investing. In FX trading, negative swaps—which occur when positions are carried over to the next day—have traditionally been a source of increased costs for traders aiming for long-term holdings, thereby eroding their profits.
However, at Exness, we have created an environment where our clients can focus on trading safely without worrying about costs.
At Exness, swap points are waived on a wide range of instruments, including major currency pairs (with the exception of certain pairs), gold, cryptocurrencies, and stock indices.
Whether you’re engaging in swing trading over a day or two, or planning to hold positions for several days or longer—including medium- to long-term positions—you can trade while keeping swap costs to a minimum.
If you’ve ever found that “your profits decreased just by holding a position for a few days” or “you rushed to close a position because you were worried about negative swaps,” we highly recommend using Exness’s swap-free accounts.
At Exness, we are committed to narrowing spreads in order to provide our clients with a favorable trading environment.
Our spreads aren’t just tight. We prioritize stability to minimize spread widening even during periods of low liquidity, such as when economic indicators are released or in the early morning. While we offer sufficiently tight spreads even on our Standard accounts, our Pro accounts allow you to trade in an environment with even tighter spreads.
Furthermore, for major currency pairs such as USD/JPY and EUR/JPY, we offer fixed spreads 90% of the time, allowing you to focus on trading without worrying about widening spreads. Exness’s spread levels have also received positive feedback from clients who prefer short-term trading strategies such as scalping and day trading.
If you’ve had experiences in the past with other brokers where spreads widened, resulting in lower-than-expected profits, we encourage you to try Exness, which offers consistently tight spreads.
Exness is an overseas FX broker recommended for intermediate to advanced traders with some experience, as described below. In particular, we have created a user-friendly trading environment for clients with the following objectives and trading styles.
Let's take a closer look at who Exness is recommended for.
We believe Exness is the ideal international FX broker for those who want to aim for significant profits in a short period of time, even with a small amount of capital. Exness offers leverage of up to 2,000x, allowing you to open the largest possible positions even with a small amount of margin.
Furthermore, since the stop-out level is set to 0%, you can trade in an environment that allows you to withstand temporary market reversals—which would otherwise result in forced liquidation at other brokers—as much as possible.
In scalping and day trading, where trades are executed multiple times a day, spreads and execution speed are crucial. Exness offers sufficiently tight spreads even on Standard accounts, but Pro accounts allow you to trade with even lower transaction costs.Furthermore, since we do not impose any restrictions on scalping, you are free to trade repeatedly, even at a frequency of just a few seconds.
If you’re a short-term trader who has “experienced losses due to spreads” or wants to “ensure your trades are executed at your target price,” we invite you to experience Exness’s user-friendly trading environment. The more trades you make, the more you’ll appreciate the difference in cost-effectiveness.
Even when the foreign exchange market is quiet, with Exness, you don’t have to worry as much about missing out on opportunities. Exness offers a wide range of financial products, not just FX currency pairs, as listed below.
In particular, the Standard account allows you to trade over 200 securities. You can also trade CFDs on 90 different stocks listed on the U.S. stock market, making it easy to trade shares of companies that are well-known in Japan.
Since you can manage all of these securities in a single account, there’s no need to open separate accounts or go through the hassle of transferring funds between accounts.
Exness is highly regarded as one of the safest brokers among the many FX brokers available. Please take a look at the safety features of Exness that have earned it such high praise from many customers.
One of the reasons Exness has a strong reputation for security is the financial licenses it holds. Currently, Exness holds financial licenses in multiple countries and regions. For many Exness customers, the fact that the company holds financial licenses—which are extremely difficult to obtain due to rigorous screening processes—is one of the key factors that led them to choose Exness for their trading.
A financial license is essential for starting a business that deals with financial products, including FX. However, the strictness of the screening process varies depending on the country or region issuing the license. Furthermore, since a financial license may be revoked if the business is not operated in accordance with the rules set by the issuing financial authority, a higher level of financial soundness is required in proportion to the number of licenses held.
One reason Exness has such a good reputation is its rigorous management of client assets. Exness employs a “segregated account” system, which completely separates client assets from the company’s operating funds. Rest assured that, thanks to this system, your assets will never be used to cover operating expenses.
Currently, there are no international rules or regulations governing the entire FX brokerage industry, so the management of client assets is left to the discretion of each broker.While some financial authorities, such as the Financial Services Agency, have established rules regarding the management of client assets through financial licenses, not all financial licenses address this issue. As a result, there are some FX brokers that manage their company’s operating funds and client assets in the same account.
At Exness, client assets are held in segregated accounts that are completely separate from our operating funds, so there is no risk of client assets being mistakenly used for operational purposes.
At Exness, we are committed to creating a trading environment that allows our clients to enjoy trading comfortably. In particular, Exness’s unique leverage of up to 2,000x is highly regarded by traders for enabling dynamic trading.
In addition, our safety-focused services—such as the zero-cut system and leverage limits—which are designed to prevent clients from taking on excessive risk when trading, have earned high praise from traders. Specifically, Exness imposes leverage limits based on various conditions, such as account balance and the specific instrument being traded.Since these leverage restrictions automatically reduce the trade size, you don’t have to worry about incurring significant losses even if a trade goes wrong.
Furthermore, Exness supports trading methods and strategies that are prohibited by other brokers. Whether it’s hedging or scalping—or any other trading strategy that places a heavy load on the server—you can execute them without any issues on Exness. Providing a trading environment that accommodates a wide range of trading strategies is one of the reasons Exness enjoys such a high reputation.
Exness is an FX broker that has been used by many traders around the world since its founding in 2008. Currently, approximately 800,000 traders in 98 countries and regions enjoy trading with Exness, and the company has earned a strong reputation among its clients.Since you will be entrusting your valuable assets to a broker, the number of users and the broker’s reputation are important indicators when assessing the safety of a forex broker.
Exness also operates offices in seven locations around the world and employs more than 2,400 people to provide stable services to traders globally. As a result, when using Exness, you don’t have to worry about a decline in service quality based on the country or region where you live. The fact that you can trade with high-quality service and a superior trading environment—not only in Japan but anywhere in the world—is what has earned Exness its excellent reputation.
Exness holds multiple financial licenses to ensure that our clients can trade in a highly secure environment. Financial licenses are one of the key indicators of an FX broker’s reliability. Please review the financial licenses held by Exness.
A financial license is an operating permit officially issued by a country’s financial regulatory authority to businesses that deal in financial products. To obtain a financial license, a business must meet strict standards set by the authorities, including having sufficient capital, implementing rigorous systems for managing customer assets, and ensuring compliance with regulations.
Exness has obtained a valid financial license after meeting these high standards, which serves as a foundation for its high level of security and transparency.
On the other hand, FX brokers that do not hold a financial license are not audited or certified by third-party organizations regarding the transparency of their operational systems and fund management. To avoid any issues, we recommend choosing an FX broker—such as Exness—that holds a reputable license and operates in compliance with regulatory standards.
At Exness, we have established a system to safeguard the assets entrusted to us by our clients. Specifically, we employ a “segregated account” system, in which client assets and operating funds are managed in separate accounts. Please review the details of Exness’s asset management system.
At Exness, we take great care to manage our clients’ assets through “segregated accounts.” Segregated accounts refer to a method of managing operational funds and client assets in separate accounts, ensuring that client assets are never used to cover operational expenses.
If operating funds and client funds are managed in the same account, there is a risk that an FX broker might inadvertently use client assets for operational purposes. Furthermore, unscrupulous FX brokers may exploit the fact that funds are managed in the same account to use client assets under the guise of “operating funds.”
At Exness, we are required by the regulations governing our financial licenses to maintain segregated accounts. By holding client assets in segregated accounts at a trust bank, we ensure that our operating funds are never commingled with client funds, allowing us to smoothly return funds to clients even in the event of an emergency.
As Exness is a global FX broker, it does not provide trust protection in accordance with Japanese domestic law. However, to ensure that our clients can trade with peace of mind, Exness is an official member of The Financial Commission, an international dispute resolution body.
Please rest assured that even in the unlikely event of a disagreement or dispute regarding a transaction between Exness and you, a system is in place whereby a neutral third-party organization will intervene and render a fair decision.We have established a system to prevent clients from being placed at a unilateral disadvantage and to resolve issues smoothly. Furthermore, if The Financial Commission determines through its review that compensation is necessary, compensation of up to 20,000 euros per case (equivalent to approximately 3 million yen at the exchange rate as of December 2025) will be provided.
While some overseas FX brokers are not members of external dispute resolution organizations, Exness proactively submits to the oversight and arbitration of third-party organizations to fulfill its responsibilities to its clients and strive to ensure the integrity and reliability of the trading environment.
At Exness, we are fully committed to ensuring management transparency and establishing the highest standards of information security to provide our clients with a safe trading environment.
First, regarding management transparency, to ensure objective reliability, we have consistently undergone regular audits by Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu—one of the world’s Big Four accounting firms—and have thoroughly implemented measures to demonstrate the soundness of our financial position.By disclosing information that has been scrutinized by a third party—rather than relying solely on figures we announce ourselves—we strive to build an unshakable relationship of trust.
Furthermore, to protect our customers’ valuable assets and personal data from cyberattacks and unauthorized access, we are fully compliant with all requirements of PCI DSS, the international security standard for the credit card industry.
Specifically, because the following advanced security measures are in place at all times, you can trade with confidence.
In particular, when it comes to deposits and withdrawals using bank cards and other methods, these measures eliminate the risk of data leaks and unauthorized use. Exness believes that the security of your funds is just as important as your trading performance, and we will continue to provide a secure trading environment where you can focus solely on trading without any security concerns.
In addition to segregated account management, Exness has established various rules regarding deposits and withdrawals to protect client assets. By implementing these rules, Exness is able to mitigate risks such as the unauthorized transfer of funds by third parties and money laundering. The rules established by Exness regarding deposits and withdrawals are as follows.
| Transferring Funds Between Exness Accounts | Exness Rules |
| At the time of payment |

| When Withdrawing Funds |

Exness supports multiple deposit methods, but deposits can only be made from an account held in the same name as the Exness account. This prevents unauthorized deposits by third parties for the purpose of money laundering. Additionally, withdrawals from your Exness account can only be processed using the same method used for the deposit.For example, funds deposited via credit card cannot be withdrawn via an online wallet, which helps prevent the loss of funds due to unauthorized access.
At Exness, we have established strict rules for deposits and withdrawals to prevent the unauthorized transfer of client assets. You don’t have to worry about your funds being used for criminal activities such as money laundering, so please feel free to enjoy trading with Exness with peace of mind.
At Exness, we provide a trading environment that prioritizes safety above all else so that our clients can trade with confidence and enjoy the experience. In FX trading, the risks involved can vary significantly depending on the quality of the trading environment. Since taking on excessive risk can lead to losses that are impossible to bear, Exness imposes certain limits to mitigate trading risks.Please review the safety-focused trading environment provided by Exness.
Exness employs a zero-cut system to minimize significant trading risks.With the zero-cut system, even if you incur a significant loss on a trade, you will not be required to make a margin call (additional margin). The zero-cut system is a mechanism whereby, if a loss exceeding your margin occurs due to sudden market fluctuations, the FX broker covers the excess amount and resets your account balance to zero.
Normally, if losses exceed your margin, you are required to deposit additional funds (margin call) to cover the shortfall; failure to do so may result not only in your account being frozen but also in the seizure of your assets. With Exness’s Zero Cut System, you are not required to cover losses exceeding your margin, so there is no need to worry about account freezes or asset seizures.Furthermore, since Exness offers a “0% stop-out level” across all account types, this, combined with the Zero Cut System, enables dynamic trading. Enjoy FX trading with the secure capital management and trading strategies unique to Exness.
At Exness, you can trade with leverage of up to 2,000x; however, to limit your risk of loss, leverage restrictions apply under certain conditions.While leverage restrictions may reduce potential returns, they also limit losses in the event of a failed trade, allowing you to trade safely with leverage while managing your risk. The conditions under which leverage restrictions apply at Exness, along with the leverage ratios after restrictions are applied, are as follows.
| Item | Contents | Maximum Leverage |
| Account Balance | The higher the available margin, the more leverage is restricted. |

While Exness offers the appeal of trading with leverage of up to 2,000x, once the trade amount exceeds a certain threshold, the risk of loss increases significantly, raising the danger of losing your entire investment. Therefore, to prevent you from losing a large portion of your investment due to a single failed trade, we impose leverage limits based on your available margin.Since leverage is limited as the available margin in your account increases, you don’t have to worry about incurring large losses from even small price movements.
Additionally, recognizing that market conditions vary depending on the instrument being traded, Exness imposes leverage restrictions on high-risk instruments. In particular, some exotic currency pairs have a fixed leverage of 100x.By applying leverage limits tailored to the risks associated with each market, Exness provides a trading environment that minimizes the likelihood of significant losses. Please refer to the link below for Exness’s specific leverage limit rules and details.
Exness uses a variety of payment systems to ensure that deposits to and withdrawals from your account are safe and seamless. You do not need to open a separate account or download an app to deposit funds into your Exness account. The deposit and withdrawal methods supported by Exness are as follows.
(*) Neteller and Skrill are not available to customers residing in Japan.
Exness accepts deposits via credit cards and two types of online wallets. By using online wallets, you can easily make deposits and withdrawals with Exness even from mobile devices such as smartphones.
Furthermore, Exness never unreasonably refuses withdrawal requests. The company is highly regarded by customers for its trouble-free deposits, withdrawals, and fund transfers, so Exness is recommended for anyone looking for a forex broker where they can safely transfer their assets.
Exness provides a highly secure trading environment, which allows it to support a wide range of trading strategies. Specifically, Exness enables trading using the following strategies:
In particular, “scalping”—which involves making repeated trades in quick succession—poses a risk of overloading the server, so many FX brokers prohibit it.While server strain can increase the likelihood of slippage, Exness minimizes errors caused by slippage through its excellent order execution capabilities. Additionally, Exness offers the “Pro Account,” an account type where slippage is virtually nonexistent, making it highly recommended for short-term traders such as scalpers.
While Exness allows you to trade using a wide range of trading strategies, we have established certain restrictions to ensure that all clients can trade on a fair and equitable basis. The following are examples of trading strategies prohibited by Exness.
Server outages are generally issues that occur when a large volume of orders is received, causing a discrepancy between the latest price and the price displayed. While exploiting this discrepancy can yield profits with a high probability, it also affects other traders; therefore, it is considered prohibited trading by most FX brokers, including Exness.Additionally, “abuse of the zero-cut system”—which exploits high leverage and a 0% stop-out level—is also prohibited. Essentially, these are the only four prohibited trading practices at Exness; the platform supports all other trading strategies.
A major reason Exness can accommodate a wide range of trading strategies is that it provides a stable and comfortable trading environment. It supports hedging, scalping, EAs (automated trading), and other types of rapid, consecutive trading, and order rejections are extremely rare. Even when compared in terms of execution performance, Exness offers exceptional reliability and has earned a strong reputation among its clients.
Exness offers comprehensive Japanese-language support via live chat, email, and phone, so even if you don’t speak English, you can use our services with confidence. Live chat support is available Monday through Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to midnight. There are no limits on the number of inquiries you can make, so please feel free to contact us anytime.
Many overseas FX brokers do not offer support in Japanese. Without Japanese support, resolving issues related to deposits, withdrawals, or trading can take a long time, which may significantly impact your trading. Exness provides reliable Japanese support services, ensuring a comfortable experience for customers living in Japan.Even if you cannot receive a real-time response via live chat, we will respond via email within 24 hours, so please feel free to contact us anytime if you have any questions or concerns.
Exness is committed to maintaining a high level of security in its operations to safeguard client assets and provide a comfortable trading environment. As an FX broker, it holds multiple financial licenses and enjoys an excellent reputation among its users. Please be aware of the following points regarding Exness’s security.
Exness holds multiple financial licenses worldwide, but does not hold a Japanese financial license. The regulations set by Japan’s Financial Services Agency are extremely strict, and we are unable to provide an environment that allows you to enjoy dynamic trading with minimal risk, such as leverage of up to 2,000 times or a zero-cut system.In order to provide a trading environment that satisfies our clients, Exness has chosen not to obtain a Japanese financial license and instead operates from overseas under foreign financial licenses.
Please rest assured that although Exness does not hold a license in Japan, using Exness to trade FX as a resident of Japan does not in itself violate any laws.At Exness, we have created a trading environment where you can trade with confidence, free from issues such as unjustified withdrawal refusals or order rejections. We will continue to prioritize safety above all else and operate with the utmost care to ensure no problems arise in the future. Should you encounter any issues or problems while using Exness, please feel free to contact us at any time.
At Exness, we employ a “segregated account” system, in which client assets are held in accounts separate from our operating funds. However, since none of the financial licenses held by Exness require trust protection, Exness does not employ a “trust protection” system.
Since its founding in 2008, Exness has been committed to sound and stable operations and has grown to the point where it now has offices in seven locations around the world. With an average monthly trading volume of approximately $3.7 trillion and a robust operational framework backed by multiple highly reputable licenses, there is no need to worry about the company going out of business.Please feel free to enjoy FX trading with Exness with complete peace of mind.
Trust protection is a method of managing assets entrusted by clients by holding them in an account at an external trust bank, which acts as a third party. Since the trust bank manages the clients’ assets, the return of those assets is guaranteed even in the unlikely event that the FX broker goes bankrupt.
At Exness, we have minimized the number of trading methods designated as prohibited in order to ensure that our diverse client base can trade safely and comfortably; however, such methods are not entirely absent. Trades that affect other clients’ trading or actions intended to gain unfair profits are prohibited.
Violating the prohibited activities may result in penalties such as the forfeiture of trading profits or the denial of withdrawals. If particularly egregious misconduct is discovered, your account may be terminated.Even if you have no malicious intent, if your actions are deemed to violate the prohibited activities, you may face penalties such as the forfeiture of profits or the denial of withdrawals. Therefore, when using Exness, please review the Terms of Service and Prohibited Trades in advance and enjoy your trading experience.
Are deposits and withdrawals with Exness safe?
Yes, Exness has established rules for deposits and withdrawals to ensure that you can conduct these transactions safely.
