As someone who has navigated both domestic and international brokerages for years, I am particularly cautious about where I place my funds. With Ando Securities, there are several risks and drawbacks I believe warrant careful consideration based on my examination. First and foremost, I am mindful of their very high minimum deposit—300,000 yen even for internet trading and an even steeper 1 million yen if you want to trade face-to-face. For me, such barriers can limit flexibility and tie up significant capital before you have any familiarity with their platform or service reliability. Although Ando Securities is regulated by the Japanese Financial Services Agency, which offers some peace of mind regarding regulatory oversight, I still notice red flags. The most immediate concern is the currently inaccessible official website. If I can’t reliably access my account or information directly, that raises questions about operational stability and my ability to manage funds efficiently, especially if I need support in a time-sensitive situation. Additionally, their trading hours and customer support are confined to specific weekdays and times, which might not align well with my trading schedule. Considering reports of account freezes and outdated customer site issues, I’m extra cautious. To summarize, while regulation is a plus, the high entry bar, limited support, technical instability, and isolated user complaints signal higher risks for me compared to global peers. For my capital, I prefer platforms that provide reliable access and lower cost of entry.
