MooMoo is a Chinese owned brokerage that’s big abroad, and now offers US and Japanese stock trading in Japan. They recently added a Nisa. Their app supports English, which is pretty rare in Japan. As well as not requiring foreigners to use a paper application.
I uploaded my My number and residence card, and I was approved within hours. Then I could instantly fund it.
I am still …skeptical of them as a company. Although the app is certainly a huge step up. I would hesitate to recommend them as a “main” broker.
I only have 2 万, in there now , I’ll experiment a bit when markets are open. I doubt I’ll use it much as currently 99% of my investments are in オルカン。

Background Nisa/iDeco with Rakuten, Taxable with SBi. Very happy with both, but it took a few weeks to get everything all set-up. Not American.
