DMM.com Securities Launches US Stock Margin and Free FX Conversion Campaigns

Japanese online broker DMM.com Securities (headquartered in Chuo-ku, Tokyo, and led by CEO Ryuji Tanigawa) has announced two promotional campaigns for its stock trading service, DMM Kabu, beginning March 2026.

The first campaign, the US Stock Margin Trading Welcome Campaign, offers reduced rates for clients who meet specific conditions. Under the Premium Course, margin trading fees are set at 0.165% with a buying interest rate of 1.9% per annum. The Member Course provides the same fee of 0.165% but with a 2.8% per annum interest rate. Additionally, customers who complete margin account registration between February 26, 2026, and April 10, 2026, will automatically receive the Member Course preferential treatment for one month. For registrations completed by March 10, the benefit applies from 5:00 PM on March 12, 2026; for those registered between March 11 and April 10, it takes effect three business days after completion. The period is extended to the next business day if the one-month mark falls on a holiday.

The second campaign, the Foreign Exchange Cost Free Campaign, waives the forex cost on yen-to-US-dollar conversions related to foreign stock transactions from March 2, 2026, to August 31, 2026.

DMM Kabu emphasizes that account registration can be completed entirely online, with options such as smartphone-based identity verification or scanning the IC chip of a My Number card via the mobile app, eliminating the need for postal mail. This enables trading to begin as early as the same day of application, excluding company holidays or any deficiencies in submitted information.

Existing DMM Kabu account holders can apply for a margin trading account through their My Page. The broker provides these incentives as part of its ongoing efforts to enhance convenience and expand trading channels for clients.
