Analysis
oricon ME's latest customer-satisfaction survey ranks brokerages and banks as rated by people actually investing through new NISA accounts—more useful than a popularity poll because every respondent has money on the line.
Three reading tips: compare online brokers and banks separately, since one competes on fees and apps while the other sells face-to-face reassurance; remember satisfaction measures experience, not returns; and for overseas readers, treat the list as a map of where Japan's savings-to-investment shift is actually flowing. For residents choosing a platform, start from the ranking but decide on your own needs—US stock access, automatic monthly purchases, app flexibility—rather than blindly following the winner.
