FX trading (over-the-counter foreign exchange margin trading) came into existence as individuals became able to participate in the FX trading market associated with the enactment of the revised Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Control Act in 1998. The FX market has grown rapidly as a result of competition in service offerings by many market entrants and is now becoming established as a measure for asset management.
As a result, the total amount of FX transactions in Japan in 2019 reached \4,200 trillion(*), a scale that has enormous impact on the global foreign exchange market.
SBI Liquidity Market was established in July 2008 to provide securities companies and other financial product traders with convenient market infrastructure that ensures liquidity in FX trading and great convenience.
In its mainstay FX trading services, the company provides multiple market functions including highly transparent competitive prices for all trading participants, rich liquidity ensuring safe trading anytime and highly convenient trading systems. The company also plays a role in improving the efficiency of various FX-related transactions of the SBI Group companies (procurement of foreign currencies and foreign currency hedging using spot/futures/options).
We will continue to strive to provide low-cost, convenient and safe FX services always from a user perspective and will aspire to create next-generation financial services tailored to the changing times.
