Bywill Inc. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Yuichiro Shimomura; hereinafter "Bywill"), which aims to create "a world where people want to engage in GX" and promotes an economic cycle utilizing environmental value, announced that the "Aigin J-Credit Time Deposit," developed in collaboration with Aichi Bank (Headquarters: Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture; Representative Director, President, and Executive Officer: Takehiro Suzuki; hereinafter "Aichi Bank"), closed its acceptance on March 13, 2026, due to reaching its target subscription amount.
## Results of "Aigin J-Credit Time Deposit" Subscription
This initiative is a mechanism where corporate customers who make deposits are granted carbon offsets (*1) from J-Credits derived from forests in the Tokai area, proportional to their principal at maturity. This marks the first time in financial institutions headquartered in the Chubu region (*2) that a deposit product includes a carbon offset.
Initially, the subscription period was set from February 2 to March 30, 2026. However, due to high interest from corporate customers, deposits totaled 10.8 billion JPY (117 cases) against a target subscription amount of 10 billion JPY, leading to an early closure of the period.
*1: J-Credits are greenhouse gas (such as CO2) emission reductions and removals achieved through decarbonization activities by businesses (e.g., introduction of energy-saving equipment, utilization of renewable energy), certified by the government as "credits." Issued credits can be sold to other companies, and purchasers can use them for carbon offsetting.

## Future Outlook
The early sell-out of this product indicates a growing demand for financial products that incorporate environmental value. Bywill will continue to expand the distribution of environmental value through collaboration with financial institutions, promoting the widespread adoption of mechanisms that enable companies to naturally contribute to decarbonization through their daily economic activities.
