Spreads & commissions
| Account / edition | Listed spreadpips · website-listed, variable | Commissionoriginal charging basis |
|---|---|---|
| Rakuten FX / Japan domestic edition | 0.2USD/JPY | JPY 0 transaction commission |
The USD/JPY 0.2 sen advertisement applies to the 09:00–03:00 next-day JST core session and the up-to-2-million-unit order tier. Outside that session, the same tier is 3.8 sen. Higher order-size tiers publish different rates. Spreads can widen around thin liquidity, holidays, data releases and exceptional events; the advertisement is not a guaranteed fill or average. The same table advertises EUR/USD 0.3 pips in the lowest quantity tier, but the special core-time rule explicitly applies to USD/JPY. This is a provider-published schedule, not a measured average or an all-hours guarantee. The FX page says transaction, forced liquidation, quick-deposit and withdrawal fees are zero; ordinary bank transfer deposit fees can be borne by the customer.
