Notes about Foreign Currency Deposits

Please read the latest "Information Memorandum" before making transactions. This document is available at our branches, etc.

Risk of loss of principal

  • Foreign currency deposits entail a risk of FX fluctuations. Due to the market volatility, the amount in yen that you receive may be smaller than the amount in yen at the time of deposit, resulting in a loss of principal.
  • The TTS rate (the rate at which yen is converted into foreign currency) and the TTB rate (vice-versa) are different (e.g. for US dollar, the difference is 2 yen per dollar). As a result, the amount in yen (including interest) that you receive may be smaller than the amount in yen at the time of deposit, resulting in a loss of principal, even if foreign exchange rates do not fluctuate.

Commissions

  • Foreign exchange commission: TTS rate and TTB rate include a foreign exchange commission set by SMBC Trust Bank. (For US dollars, maximum of 1 yen per dollar to convert one way (i.e., from yen to dollar or dollar to yen) and 2 yen per dollar if converting into and subsequently out of yen or dollar.)
  • Foreign currency cash handling fee: Fee is charged on each deposit or withdrawal of cash in a foreign currency (2 yen per US dollar, and 3 yen per Euro).
  • Because other transaction fees for fund transfer etc. differ according to each transaction, we can't list all beforehand.
  • For more details, please contact our branches or call us, or see the Service Fee List.

Other considerations

  • Customers performing foreign currency deposit transactions for the first time (including receiving the funds in foreign currency by fund transfer) will be required to conclude a PRESTIA MultiMoney Foreign Currency Savings Deposit Contract. The application process will take a few business days, so please apply well in advance at branches, via internet banking, or by mail.
  • Cancellation of Foreign Currency Time Deposit is not allowed before maturity, including those that have rolled over automatically, except that SMBC Trust Bank determines cancellation is unavoidable. In the event that cancellation is determined unavoidable, depositor may be required to pay settlement fee due to changes in financial circumstances, etc.
  • Foreign Currency Deposits are not covered by any deposit insurance.
  • Interest rates and exchange rates may fluctuate due to market conditions. Please check the latest information at our branches or via the bank's Website, etc.
  • In principle, interest is subject to a 20.315% withholding tax (National tax 15.315% and Local tax 5%) for individual customers. Foreign exchange gains are treated as miscellaneous income under the Japanese tax laws. Comprehensive income taxation applies to corporate customers. The tax rate etc. may change in the future due to reasons such as revision of tax laws.
  • The Prevailing Market Rate is applied in principle when transactions are available via online banking.
  • Please receive and read the latest "Information Memorandum" (Pre-Contract Document) within one year before investing in Foreign Currency Time Deposit.
