Issuance Guarantee Deposit for Prepaid Payment Methods | In compliance with the Payment Services Act, the Company protects the assets entrusted by users by depositing an amount equal to or greater than half (not necessarily the full balance) of the unused funds on specific reference dates, which occur annually at the end of March and the end of September.
This practice applies to all prepaid payment methods issued by our company.

This right pertains to claims associated with those prepaid payment methods and is facilitated through the issuance guarantee deposit mentioned above.
As per the Payment Services Act, the Company is not presently engaged in the preservation of security deposits for issuance. This is due to the fact that the unused balance on the base date, which includes the unused balance at the two annual reference dates (the end of March and the end of September), does not surpass the base amount set forth by Cabinet Order. The specified base amount is 10 million yen, as outlined in Article 6 of the Order for Enforcement of the Payment Services Act. |
