In my experience as a trader who prioritizes safety and regulatory oversight, Ando Securities presents itself as a legitimate entity, primarily due to its regulation by the Financial Services Agency (FSA) of Japan. This level of supervision is significant, as the FSA is known for its stringent standards and regular audits, making it unlikely for outright fraud to persist within its regulatory net. The company has been established since 1998 and has held its current license since 2007, adding to its longevity and credibility in the Japanese market. However, I have some reservations. The inability to access the official website raises concerns about ongoing operational issues or possible technical disruptions. Such issues are worth noting, as they can impact accessibility and support, particularly for non-local or remote investors. The user reviews are mixed: one client accused the platform of being a scam due to an account freeze and inaccessibility, while another praised the effectiveness of their customer service. As a rule, a single negative exposure cannot be definitive, but it does underline the importance of vigilance and risk management. For me, the high minimum deposit—especially for face-to-face trading—and the absence of mainstream forex or CFD offerings place Ando Securities more in the traditional securities broker category than in a globally competitive online forex broker space. While its regulatory status reassures me of basic legitimacy, the service limitations and isolated exposure complaints mean I would approach it with careful due diligence and perhaps seek more transparent, readily accessible alternatives for forex or derivatives trading.
