After carefully reviewing my own experience and the available information about Shikoku, I need to take a conservative approach regarding payment methods and withdrawal speeds. Based on what I found, Shikoku’s funding and withdrawal options are primarily bank transfers, and these come with a potential processing time of up to 24 hours. While same-day processing may occur, there is no evidence that Shikoku offers any instant withdrawal methods such as e-wallets or internal transfers that are popular with some international brokers. This is consistent with what I generally expect from a traditional Japanese broker, especially one regulated by the FSA and operating for over a decade. The focus seems to be on security and regulatory compliance, rather than rapid, technology-driven withdrawal solutions. In my trading, speed of withdrawal is important, but I weigh this against the trustworthiness and regulatory standards of the broker. With Shikoku, the process appears to prioritize procedural diligence over speed, which may be more reassuring for those worried about safety, but it does mean traders should not expect instant access to funds. For anyone considering trading with Shikoku, it is prudent to plan for at least some delay when withdrawing funds, and not to rely on instant liquidity.
