Company profile

researched Aug 2026

M2J is the web domain of 株式会社マネースクエア (Money Square), a Tokyo-based over-the-counter foreign exchange and CFD brokerage. The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Money Square HD and is registered as a financial instruments business operator with the Kanto Local Finance Bureau (registration No. 2797), holding membership in the Japan Securities Dealers Association and the Financial Futures Association of Japan. Its head office is on the 40th floor of Midtown Tower, 9-7-1 Akasaka, Minato-ku, Tokyo.

The company's core product is Toraripi (トラリピ), a patented order-management tool that automates repeated grid-style orders, positioned by the company as a means of medium- to long-term asset formation using FX and CFD rather than short-term speculation. Alongside the trading tool, the company publishes market reports produced by in-house strategists, offers curated "Toraripi strategy lists" for FX and stock index instruments, and runs investor education content and seminars. Following a May 2024 system renewal, FX and CFD are traded through a single integrated account, accessible from one app (renamed Toraripi FX/CFD) and browser interface, with instant transfers between FX and CFD margin balances, immediate confirmation of realised profit and loss and swap transfers, and a separate trading password for order entry.

Business model

The company operates as a registered financial instruments business offering over-the-counter foreign exchange and CFD trading accounts directly to retail investors. Customers open trading accounts and place orders through the company's proprietary order-management tooling and platforms; revenue is generated from trading activity in these OTC markets. The company has also run customer loyalty schemes tied to trading volume, first a proprietary points program and, from February 2026, a program accruing JAL airline miles based on Toraripi trading.

Revenue derives from retail OTC FX and CFD trading activity. The company states that stock index CFDs across five instruments are offered with zero trading commissions and no settlement deadline, indicating that pricing on those products is not commission-based.

Traction

The company reports that business performance growth increased the volume of contract documents it handles, and a vendor case study states it has concluded contracts with several hundred companies through the WAN-Sign electronic contract service. Its consumer platform supports both FX and CFD trading through an integrated account and mobile app, with customer support provided via a dedicated customer desk.

Latest developments

In February 2026 the company began a program awarding JAL miles based on Toraripi trading, requiring customers to register a JAL Mileage Bank number in their account details. In May 2026 it notified customers that the Money Square Point Program had ended and that remaining points held at the end of May 2026 would be credited to FX accounts as margin on 1 June 2026 at 1 point = 0.9 yen, with points forfeited for customers who closed accounts or withdrew all funds from both Toraripi FX and Toraripi CFD accounts on or before 29 May 2026.

Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market, geography, history

Market position

The company describes itself as having pioneered practices in the Japanese retail FX sector since the group's founding in 2002, including segregated trust management of customer funds and promotion of low leverage for medium- to long-term foreign currency investment. It operates under Japanese financial instruments regulation and is a subsidiary within the Money Square HD group.

The company centres its offering on Toraripi, an order-management tool covered by its own patent, supported by investor education and system infrastructure intended to keep orders stable. Its stated positioning is FX and CFD used as asset management rather than speculation, reflected in early adoption of segregated trust management of client assets and advocacy of low leverage. Following the 2024 renewal, stock index CFDs (including instruments referencing the Nikkei 225 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average) are offered with zero trading commissions and no settlement deadline, and FX/CFD funds can be transferred instantly within an integrated account.

Technology

The company develops and maintains the Toraripi order-management tool, for which it holds a patent, together with the trading systems supporting it. The 2024 platform renewal unified FX and CFD trading into one app and browser environment, enabled instant intra-account fund transfers, moved settlement profit/loss and swap transfers to immediate confirmation instead of a two-business-day cycle, and added a mandatory trading password for order entry, modification and cancellation. Corporate document workflows use the WAN-Sign electronic contract and contract-management service, which links related contracts and automates renewal-date tracking.

Go-to-market

Customer acquisition is direct and online: accounts can be opened free of charge, with same-day opening advertised, and the company runs campaigns, seminars, educational content and dedicated landing pages for new products. It maintains official accounts on X, LINE and Instagram, distributes press releases through wire services, and uses loyalty incentives — formerly a points program and, from 2026, JAL mile accrual — to encourage trading activity.

Retail investors in Japan seeking medium- to long-term asset management through foreign exchange and CFD trading, including customers using automated repeat-order strategies and those trading stock index products.

Geography

Operations are based in Japan, with the head office in Midtown Tower, Akasaka, Minato-ku, Tokyo. Services and disclosures, including registration with the Kanto Local Finance Bureau and membership in Japanese self-regulatory associations, are oriented to the domestic Japanese retail market.

History

Press materials date the group's founding to October 2002, describing an approach built from the outset around segregated trust management of customer funds and recommended low leverage for medium- to long-term foreign-currency investment, along with development of the patented Toraripi order-management tool and investor education programs. In April 2024 the company announced a system renewal, effective 27 May 2024, that merged FX and CFD into an integrated account and introduced the OTC product Toraripi CFD. A case study published by NX Wanbishi Archives describes the company's adoption of the WAN-Sign electronic contract service to replace manual contract renewal management and to consolidate paper and electronic document custody with one provider. In May 2026 the company announced the wind-down of its Money Square Point Program, with residual points converted to FX account margin on 1 June 2026 at 1 point = 0.9 yen, following the February 2026 launch of a JAL mileage program.
