au Jibun Bank Corporation (Head Office: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Kenji Tanaka; hereinafter referred to as "au Jibun Bank") will launch the "Debut Support Ordinary Deposit" (hereinafter referred to as "This Campaign") for customers who open new accounts from Wednesday, July 1, 2026.

KEY FIGURES

20.315%
20.315%

This campaign is for customers who open new accounts between Wednesday, July 1, 2026, and Wednesday, September 30, 2026. Upon meeting the application conditions, the interest rate on Yen ordinary deposits will be equivalent to a maximum of 1.00% per annum (equivalent to 0.79% after tax) for up to one year, which is the highest level in au Jibun Bank's history (Note 1). This will be achieved by providing a cash bonus equivalent to the difference between the normal interest rate and the additional interest rates from various preferential rates (Premium Rate Preference, Lump Sum Rate Preference, etc.). This allows for asset building at a higher level compared to regular Yen ordinary deposits.

For the first two months after opening an account, it can be used without any conditions for account transfers. However, from the third to the twelfth month, account transfers totaling 10,000 yen or more per month will be required. Furthermore, from the 13th month after opening an account, Yen ordinary deposits can be used at a maximum rate of 0.75% per annum (before tax) (Note 2) through a combination of various preferential rates, including the "Premium Rate Preference."

au Jibun Bank also permanently offers the "Debut Support Fixed Deposit" for new account holders, with a 3-month term at 1.35% per annum (before tax) and a 1-year term at 1.20% per annum (before tax). The number of users for the "Debut Support Fixed Deposit," launched in March 2025, has increased approximately 1.7 times (Note 3) compared to its predecessor, the "Debut Support Program," indicating strong performance. Against the backdrop of rising interest rates, there is a growing demand for asset building utilizing Yen deposits. Additionally, this period, coinciding with the summer bonus payout season, is a time when people consider investing surplus funds.

In response to these needs, we are now offering not only Yen fixed deposits, which generally cannot be withdrawn until maturity, but also Yen ordinary deposits, which can be accessed daily, at attractive interest rates, to further support the management of living expenses. During the campaign period, in addition to the permanently offered "Debut Support Fixed Deposit," customers can combine this campaign with their own life plans. This allows for flexible use according to purpose, such as managing lump sums with fixed deposits and daily-use funds with ordinary deposits.

Furthermore, au Jibun Bank offers benefits such as free ATM fees and interbank transfer fees (Note 4), making it easy to use on a daily basis even after the campaign benefits are applied. Through these convenient services, we will continue to support our customers' asset building.

<Interest Calculation Example>

1 Yen Ordinary Deposit

・Normal Interest Rate (0.31%):

Average balance of 1 million yen x 0.31% x 28 days / 365 days = 237 yen (interest before tax)

237 yen - Tax 47 yen = 190 yen (interest after tax)

Average balance of 1 million yen x 0.31% x 30 days / 365 days = 254 yen (interest before tax)

254 yen - Tax 50 yen = 204 yen (interest after tax)

Average balance of 1 million yen x 0.31% x 31 days / 365 days = 263 yen (interest before tax)

263 yen - Tax 53 yen = 210 yen (interest after tax)

190 yen x 1 month (28-day month) + 204 yen x 4 months (30-day months) + 210 yen x 7 months (31-day months) = 2,476 yen (interest after tax)

・"Debut Support Ordinary Deposit" for new account holders, normal interest rate + cash bonus (equivalent to 1.00%):

Average balance of 1 million yen x 1.00% x 28 days / 365 days = 767 yen (interest before tax)

767 yen - Tax 155 yen = 612 yen (interest after tax)

Average balance of 1 million yen x 1.00% x 30 days / 365 days = 821 yen (interest before tax)

821 yen - Tax 166 yen = 655 yen (interest after tax)

Average balance of 1 million yen x 1.00% x 31 days / 365 days = 849 yen (interest before tax)

849 yen - Tax 172 yen = 677 yen (interest after tax)

612 yen x 1 month (28-day month) + 655 yen x 4 months (30-day months) + 677 yen x 7 months (31-day months) = 7,971 yen (interest after tax)

2 Yen Fixed Deposit

・Normal Interest Rate (0.51%):

1 million yen x 0.51% = 5,100 yen (interest before tax)

5,100 yen - Tax 1,036 yen = 4,064 yen (interest after tax)

・"Debut Support Fixed Deposit" for new account holders, normal interest rate + additional interest rate (1.20%):

1 million yen x 1.20% x 365 days / 365 days = 12,000 yen (interest before tax)

12,000 yen - Tax 2,437 yen = 9,563 yen (interest after tax)

*Interest is subject to withholding tax of 20.315% (national tax 15.315%, local tax 5%), including the "Special Reconstruction Income Tax."
