Main FX advertised spreads: 100–2,000,000 base units

| USD/JPY | 0.2 sen | 0.2–7.8 senSource 6 |

The service page dated 5 October advertises campaign pricing for 5 October 07:00–31 October 05:30 JST, excluding accumulation FX. However, the linked campaign page already carries an “ended 31 October” notice. That conflicts with the 10 October check date: the reduced figures require confirmation and are not treated here as confirmed executable prices.[8]

How to read spread claims
| Evidence | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Published spread history | The retrieved distribution page covers 1 December 2025–1 January 2026. For USD/JPY orders up to 2 million, its modal spread was 0.2 sen, displayed 92.35% of the time; the maximum was 14.8 sen.Source 9 |
| Limits of that observation | This is the broker’s older quote-distribution report, not an October 2026 average or an independent execution test. Size-specific results and adverse market conditions can differ.Source 9 |

Margin mechanics
| Item | Rule |
|---|---|
| Daily calculation | Required margin is fixed for each business day and published after rollover. Opposing positions use the larger side; pending opening orders need their own margin.Source 12 |
| Changing leverage | A lower course cannot be requested while positions or pending opening orders exist. A pending course-change request blocks new orders until completed or cancelled.Source 6 |
| Corporate FX | Pair-specific FFAJ risk-based margin is reviewed weekly; current and following-week rates are supplied through the trading service.Source 12 |
| Daily additional-margin check | After rollover, retail effective leverage above 25:1 triggers a call; corporate accounts are checked against their required margin.Source 12 |
| Deadline | The current service specification sets 02:00 JST on the following business day. An unpaid call leads to compulsory liquidation.Source 12 |
| Curing the obligation | Cash must reach FX, or sufficient positions must be closed. A favourable market move after the call does not itself clear the obligation.Source 13 |
| Closing hedged positions | Closing part of a hedge may not release the margin required to cure the call. Confirm the displayed remaining obligation.Source 13 |

Alerts and risk of a remaining debt
| Event | Published treatment |
|---|---|
| Alert defaults | 50% on lower retail courses; 70% on the 25:1 and corporate courses. Alerts appear on screen rather than by email.Source 12 |
| Pending new orders | With positions held, a ratio below 100% cancels pending new orders. Closeout checks normally run about once per second but can be delayed.Source 12 |
| Deficit after liquidation | The bank-transfer guide requires uncovered FX losses by 15:30 JST next business day, with 14.6% annual late charges. It permits set-off against other cash or sale of held securities.Source 26 |
Stock collateral: cash can still be required
Sections ↑At a glance11
Using Japanese shares for FX
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Valuation | Eligible domestic listed shares are normally recognised at 70% of the previous reference price. The firm can lower the percentage or exclude securities.Source 17 |
| Ownership benefits | The published service preserves dividends and shareholder benefits while the shares serve as collateral.Source 16 |
| Selling collateral | The recognised collateral portion of sale proceeds is automatically transferred to FX at settlement-morning rollover.Source 16 |
| Corporate actions | Newly allocated shares can arrive in ordinary custody and need a separate collateral transfer.Source 17 |
| Cash deficit | A positive securities-backed margin total can coexist with insufficient cash after FX losses. Month-end checks create a separate cash-cure process.Source 18 |
| Repeated month-end deficit | After the second month-end trigger, the cash-payment obligation does not disappear through later price recovery or swaps. The on-screen deadline applies.Source 18 |
| Failure to pay | The broker may transfer cash from securities into FX, creating a securities-account deficit and restrictions or forced share sales.Source 18 |
Orders, hours and native platforms
Sections ↑At a glance12
Execution and order instructions
| Instruction | Useful distinction |
|---|---|
| Market | Execution uses the rate when the server receives the order. Both price improvement and adverse slippage are possible.Source 10 |
| 2WAY | An adverse move beyond the chosen tolerance cancels the order; improvement beyond that tolerance can still fill. Closure uses FIFO, excluding positions with pending exits.Source 10 |
| Limit/stop | Stops execute against the available rate after triggering; distant limits/stops beyond the stated 50% price band are rejected.Source 10 |
| IFD / OCO / IFDOCO | Linked entry/exit or alternative instructions are supported; an OCO fill cancels its other leg.Source 11 |
| Trailing stop | The stop follows favourable movement by a selected distance and becomes a market instruction when triggered.Source 11 |
| Smartphone speed order | Combines entry/closure handling according to the selected hedging setting, with a rapid one-tap workflow.Source 31 |
| Settlement | Closing profit/loss is reflected in collateral promptly; the order specification distinguishes this from legal settlement two business days later.Source 10 |

Delivering dollars and moving cash between accounts

USD delivery from main SBI FX
| Step/condition | Published treatment |
|---|---|
| Eligible position | A USD/JPY buy position only, with full consideration at its entry price available in cash. Stock collateral does not replace that cash.Source 22 |
| Required destination account | A foreign-stock or foreign-currency-product account must already be open. Delivered USD can be used for the eligible foreign securities.Source 22 |
| Delivery minimum | USD 100, in USD 100 increments; no delivery commission. The initial FX spread still matters.Source 24 |
| Funding buffer | The foreign-stock funding guide instructs customers to fund at least 105% of the intended delivery amount in yen before creating the USD/JPY buy.Source 24 |
| How to request | WEB or the FX app; an accepted delivery instruction cannot be cancelled.Source 22 |
| Pending closing orders | A position carrying an exit instruction, even a partial exit, is ineligible until the conflicting instruction is removed.Source 23 |
| Credit timing | Dollars enter the foreign-securities ledger. Friday instructions reflect Monday morning; a Japanese holiday can defer credit until the following business day.Source 23 |

JPY account-transfer workflow
| Route | Availability | Booking or control |
|---|---|---|
| Supported instant bank deposit | Zero transfer fee and immediate securities buying-power credit, subject to maintenance. | An eligible online-banking contract, matching account name and bank-specific transfer limit are required.Source 33 |
| Bank → securities → FX | FX funding normally reflects within one or two minutes after the securities-to-FX transfer. | Funding the bank or securities balance alone does not add FX collateral.Source 5 |
| Securities → FX | Normally one or two minutes. | Banking guide: instructions before 15:30 JST book next business day; later instructions book the second business day.Source 26 |
| FX → securities | Normally one or two minutes. | 15:00 JST booking cutoff: next business day before, second business day after.Source 25 |
| FX ↔ accumulation | Normally seconds, recorded the same day. | Each product retains its own trading balance.Source 25 |
| Internal transfer versus bank payment | A separate securities-account withdrawal instruction is required to reach a bank. | Product maintenance or an outstanding obligation can restrict transferable cash.Source 26 |

Withdrawing JPY to a bank
| Route | Cost / timing | Limits or conditions |
|---|---|---|
| Normal bank withdrawal | No broker fee; before 16:00 JST normally next bank business day, after 16:00 the second. | Uses the registered bank account and available cash. Normal withdrawal is not a same-day payment.Source 27 |
| SBI Shinsei real-time withdrawal | Available with the required bank arrangement. | Up to JPY 5 million and three instructions per day; accepted instructions cannot be cancelled.Source 27 |
| Real-time available balance | Sweep-bank balances are excluded from the real-time withdrawal amount. | Ordinary withdrawal capacity can therefore differ.Source 27 |
| Real-time maintenance | Daily 23:45–00:15; business days 15:55–16:05; second/last Sunday 00:30–06:00 JST. | Registered-bank or account restrictions can prevent a payment.Source 27 |
| Sale proceeds | Cash from a sale is not necessarily withdrawable before settlement. | The FAQ gives normal arrival around midday as guidance rather than a guaranteed receiving-bank time.Source 28 |

What FX protection provides
| Arrangement | Scope and limitation |
|---|---|
| Client-money trust | The broker names Mizuho Trust Bank and SBI Clearing Trust. Trust valuation includes cash, trading valuation and unrealised swaps.Source 14 |
| Return on failure | An external accountant acting as beneficiary representative requests and distributes assets. Customers do not claim repayment directly from the trustees.Source 14 |
| Coverage limits | Deposits can remain outside the trust during transfer delays; return is bounded by assets actually entrusted. Principal and complete recovery are not guaranteed.Source 14 |
| Trading loss | FX can leave a debt beyond deposited collateral. The firm’s cash set-off and securities-sale provisions matter when several products share the relationship.Source 26 |

Customer contact and dispute routes
| Need | Published channel |
|---|---|
| General telephone support | Weekdays 08:00–17:00 JST; callback booking is available subject to capacity.Source 45 |
| Human chat | General service 08:00–23:00, but the 17:00–23:00 extension is restricted to funds, NISA and passwords. It is not an overnight FX dealing desk.Source 45 |
| Automated support | Chatbot available around the clock; individual positions and account-specific questions require the appropriate verified channel.Source 45 |
| Internet-course complaint | 0120-104-214, weekdays 08:00–17:00 JST. Other service courses use their designated complaint contacts.Source 46 |
| External financial-services dispute | FINMAC: 0120-64-5005. Commodity futures/commodity CFDs have the separately listed Japan Commodity Futures Industry Association route, 03-3664-6243.Source 46 |
The main comparison question is which balance and contract will hold the exposure. The same securities relationship can contain discretionary FX, scheduled FX, shares used as collateral and several CFD subaccounts, while the deadlines for meeting obligations or reaching a bank differ. Those account boundaries matter as much as a small advertised spread.
