Rakuten Bank is running the “25th Anniversary Special Interest Rate Time Deposit Campaign” for a limited time and will apply special interest rates to eligible yen time deposits. The campaign runs from 1 October 2026 at 00:00 through 30 November 2026 at 23:59.
The campaign announcement states that special interest rates will apply when eligible yen time deposits are opened during the campaign period. Eligible deposits have terms of 6 months, 1 year and 2 years, and deposits made through the time deposit savings plan or with automatic renewal enabled are also eligible.
All users holding corporate or personal business accounts at Rakuten Bank are eligible, and deposits made during the campaign period qualify. The minimum deposit is ¥10,000, in ¥1 increments, subject to meeting the applicable conditions.
The stated rates are 1.000% per annum for 6-month deposits, 1.275% per annum for 1-year deposits and 1.675% per annum for 2-year deposits. The after-tax rates are 0.796%, 1.015% and 1.334%, respectively. These are applied as special rates compared with the standard rates available at branches.
Rakuten Bank is the campaign sponsor, and the campaign terms may be changed or the campaign may be discontinued without prior notice. Detailed conditions, including tax treatment, withholding tax and the method for calculating interest after maturity, are explained in a separate document.
The announcement is similar to a corporate release and is based on official information. It does not directly indicate any individual investment decision or impact on market trends.
