Hello!
I have been living in Japan for 5 years now and over 1 year ago I finally opened an SBI account. Turns out the process was tedious and the user experience is as bad as expected, even though I am fluent in Japanese.
So I decided to start building a "foreigner friendly" interface to allow us who are living in Japan to invest without having to pay fees as my friends who are using services like Interactive brokers.
I am making this post to see if others are finding the existing solutions (SBI, Monex, Rakuten Securities, etc…) as horrendous as me and eventually if there would be a base of potential users of my tool to help me improve it.
Would you please share your experiences with these investing solutions in Japan and help me know if you are struggling as I am?
Ideally, my roadmap would be to build a All in One interface where I can connect all of my financial tools (bank accounts, credit cards, real estate assets, stocks, etc…) and perform actions like tracking my budget, investing in stocks, ETFs and others, in real estate, etc…
