The Financial Services Agency aims to protect consumers from scams by enabling quick verification of licensed and registered financial entities.
Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA) has introduced a mobile-friendly search tool that allows users to check the licensing and registration status of financial businesses. The initiative is designed to help individuals and organizations confirm the legitimacy of counterparties and reduce the risk of fraud involving unregistered operators. By offering cross-industry coverage, the tool provides an accessible means for the public to ensure compliance in financial transactions.
