Chako: Hey Log, I heard that an online brokerage is going to compensate half of the losses from account takeovers! What do you think?
Log: Well, it’s somewhat reassuring news for customers, but it’s a shame that those who were affected won’t receive full compensation.
Chako: That’s true, full compensation would be ideal, but it seems like they’re also offering a 10,000 yen consolation payment!
Navi: Just to add, this consolation payment is likely intended as a measure to alleviate the impact and to help restore customer trust.
Log: I see, having that might ease some concerns. I’m also curious about the differences in compensation policies, but how the entire industry responds is important too.

Admin’s Note

The recent announcement of half-price compensation by three online securities firms has garnered attention as a potential solution to the unstable situation of account takeovers. In particular, the uniform compensation offered by SBI Securities and Rakuten Securities will provide strong support to customers. However, it is disappointing that this is not a full compensation, and there is a need to establish a safer trading environment moving forward. I hope to see how the industry will build customer trust through such initiatives in the future.
