You can select from three types depending on your needs.
There are different types of Premium Deposits corresponding to the currency you deposit. "Deposit in Japanese Yen" starts from Yen funds; "Deposit in Foreign Currency" and "Cross Currency Type" start from foreign currency funds.
Premium Deposit (Deposit in Japanese yen)
With your surplus funds in Yen, you may be thinking...
- "I want to buy a foreign currency at stronger Yen levels."
- "I wish to make effective use of my available funds while waiting for the Yen to strengthen."
If so, choose "Deposit in Japanese Yen".
Premium Deposit (Deposit in Foreign Currency)
With your surplus funds in a foreign currency, you may be thinking...
- "I want to convert my funds in a foreign currency back into Yen at weaker Yen levels."
- "I wish to make effective use of my available funds while waiting for the Yen to weaken."
If so, choose "Deposit in Foreign Currency".
Premium Deposit (Cross Currency Type) (Advanced)
You want to invest your surplus foreign currency funds in a different foreign currency without converting them back into Yen, and you may be thinking...
- "I want to convert my foreign currency funds into another foreign currency at a better exchange rate than a current rate."
- "I wish to make effective use of my available funds while waiting for my target exchange rate."
If so, choose "Cross Currency Type".
A quick guide to Premium Deposit (Deposit in Japanese yen)
Why do Premium Deposits offer better interest rates than regular time deposits?
In addition to the interest rate of a regular time deposit, Premium Deposit interest rates include a part of "premium" that is obtained by selling currency options in the applicable currencies. This premium can vary greatly depending on the combination of conditions you choose, and on market conditions. In addition, the higher the chances are of a currency conversion occurring on the maturity date, the higher the premium will be. If you want a high return, the associated risk will also be higher, so please make sure that you understand the nature of the product and its associated risks before transacting.
