From my experience evaluating brokers and making funding decisions, understanding deposit and withdrawal fees is critical to assessing total trading costs. With FFG Securities, what I found was a nuanced approach. For clients who use their services in person or through a combination of face-to-face and online interactions, FFG Securities does not impose any charges for deposits or withdrawals. This can be a positive for those able to access their physical locations or hybrid services, removing at least one layer of cost from routine account funding. However, if you are considering FFG Securities as a purely online customer, it's important to note that the broker does not absorb bank transfer fees for deposits. Instead, online-only users must bear their own deposit transfer fees, which depend on their bank’s policies. Withdrawals seem to follow a similar pattern, though explicit detail about withdrawal fees for online-only accounts was somewhat lacking in the data I reviewed. In my view, this structure is not uncommon among traditional Japanese brokerages, but it can be a disadvantage for traders who rely on cost transparency. It may make online trading slightly less attractive compared to international brokers that often cover standard funding fees. Overall, while in-person/hybrid users enjoy fee-free deposits and withdrawals, online-only clients should budget for their own bank’s transfer costs. As always, I recommend confirming all potential charges with customer support before proceeding.
