Monex to Enter J-Credit Trading Market

Monex Inc., a Japanese online trading company, announced that it will enter the J-Credit trading market. This is the first time for a major online securities company in Japan to enter the J-Credit trading market.

With its entry into the J-Credit Trading Market, Monex is better positioned to respond to the ESG financial needs of its investors and contribute to the resolution of environmental issues, one of the largest pillars of ESG targets.

Certified by the Japanese government, J-Credits are credits that can be earned through greenhouse gas emission reductions or absorption. Emissions trading is one method to promote the transition to a low-carbon society in a global movement to achieve carbon neutrality with virtually zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.

In April 2021, Monex joined hands with Carbon Free Consulting Corporation to cooperate in J-Credits, emissions trading and other areas. In the same month, Monex entered into the J-Credit market by directly participating in the 11th J-Credits auction.

Last month, Fazzaco reported that Monex will offer US stock periodic purchase services​.
