Rakuten Securities review & overview
Platforms, account options and market coverage in one clear profile.
Rakuten Securities combines Japanese domestic FX accounts with browser, Windows and mobile tools. A separate Rakuten MT4 account supports MetaTrader-based trading. Its advertised FX prices vary by pair, order size and, for USD/JPY, time of day; the lowest headline figure should not be presented as a measured average.
Spreads & commissions
| Account / edition | From spreadpips · advertised minimum | Listed spreadpips · website-listed, variable | Commissionoriginal charging basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rakuten FX / Japan domestic edition | — | 0.2USD/JPY | JPY 0 transaction commission |
The USD/JPY 0.2 sen advertisement applies to the 09:00–03:00 next-day JST core session and the up-to-2-million-unit order tier. Outside that session, the same tier is 3.8 sen. Higher order-size tiers publish different rates. Spreads can widen around thin liquidity, holidays, data releases and exceptional events; the advertisement is not a guaranteed fill or average. The same table advertises EUR/USD 0.3 pips in the lowest quantity tier, but the special core-time rule explicitly applies to USD/JPY. This is a provider-published schedule, not a measured average or an all-hours guarantee. The FX page says transaction, forced liquidation, quick-deposit and withdrawal fees are zero; ordinary bank transfer deposit fees can be borne by the customer.
