Monex Securities Takes a Major Step for NTT Group Employees

In a significant move to bolster financial well-being among its workforce, Monex Securities, headquartered in Minato, Tokyo, has been selected as the designated brokerage firm for approximately 100 companies under the NTT Group, catering to around 140,000 employees. This initiative, known as the "Workplace Tsumitate NISA," is set to commence on April 1, 2026, and is designed to promote asset formation among employees.

Partnership Background

This collaboration marks a continuation of Monex Securities' partnership with NTT Group's subsidiary, NTT DoCoMo. Since commencing capital and business ties, Monex has deepened its service offerings, including features such as:

• - Credit Card Savings via d-card®
• - Integration of securities accounts with d-accounts®
• - Investment options using d-points
• - Launch of simple asset management services

The partnership has seen success reflected in a record high of new account openings in January 2026. As the only securities firm within the DoCoMo group, Monex aims to extend its asset formation services to NTT Group employees through the Workplace Tsumitate NISA and a stock compensation program.

Initiative Overview

Monex Securities will support the NTT Group's asset-building initiatives through two main avenues:

1. Designated Brokerage for the Workplace Tsumitate NISA

This system, designed as part of employee welfare, aims to facilitate systematic asset formation. Monex will act as the designated securities firm for the Workplace Tsumitate NISA, enhancing engagement and supporting employees in their financial journeys.
