Financial Services Intermediation

Legal support for clients seeking to leverage technological developments to expand the scope of their business, including expansion into the sale of financial products by companies that have not operated in the finance industry, as well as expansion of the types of financial products dealt with by finance firms

Market Developments

New regulations were adopted in June 2020 that reduced the regulatory burden of engaging in the business of intermediating financial transactions across a variety of finance sectors, such as banking, insurance and securities. It is now possible to obtain a single registration to conduct cross-sectional intermediation of financial services across all or some of these fields, and the obligation of intermediary business operators to be incorporated within financial institutions has also been eliminated.

In the future, businesses engaged in financial intermediation will be able to provide services in a variety of different financial sectors, such as banking, insurance and securities, as a one-stop solution, and it is anticipated that new participants will enter the market and that a new level of convenience in financial services will be realized.
