LINE Credit Corporation (hereinafter "LINE Credit"), a group company of LINE Yahoo Corporation, will expand the number of financial institutions that can be registered as repayment accounts to approximately 370 starting July 1, 2026, for its smartphone lending services "LINE Pocket Money" and "LINE Pocket Money Kaikae." This will make it easier for customers who were previously required to repay via bank transfer to set up automatic withdrawals from their everyday accounts, eliminating the hassle and fees associated with monthly transfers, allowing for more planned service usage.

Approximately 370 institutions, including AEON Bank and regional banks nationwide, will be newly supported.
With this expansion of supported financial institutions, AEON Bank, Yokohama Bank, and others will be added as automatic withdrawal accounts for repayments through integration with "Bank Pay"*1, increasing the number of supported financial institutions to approximately 370 nationwide. This will make it easier for customers to set up their regularly used accounts as repayment accounts, allowing for more convenient service use.
*1 Bank Pay (https://jeppo.jp/bankpay/) is a payment infrastructure service directly linked to bank accounts provided by the Japan Electronic Payment Promotion Organization (JEPPO).
Reducing the burden of repayment management by eliminating transfer fees and procedural complexities.
Previously, the number of financial institutions that could be registered for repayment withdrawals was limited, so customers using institutions not on the list were asked to make repayments via bank transfer themselves each month. These transfers presented challenges such as "financial burden of monthly transfer fees," "procedural hassle," and "accidental forgetfulness or amount errors." With the expansion of supported financial institutions, customers will find it easier to use fee-free automatic withdrawals for repayments after registering their accounts, leading to a reduction in the burden of transfer procedures and repayment management.
Expanding features towards "services that everyone can use easily."
Through this expansion of supported financial institutions, "LINE Pocket Money" and "LINE Pocket Money Kaikae" will enable smooth repayments from everyday accounts, not only improving convenience for existing customers but also making the services more attractive to new customers. We will continue to aim for services that are easier for more customers to use.
