Mizuho SBI Net Bank and Monex Securities Join Forces for Financial Innovation

In a groundbreaking move for the financial sector, Mizuho SBI Net Bank, headquartered in Minato, Tokyo, has officially launched a partnership with Monex Securities. This strategic alliance aims to enhance the provision of various financial services to Mizuho SBI’s customers starting February 2, 2026. The collaboration comes on the heels of a service agreement signed between the two companies and NTT Docomo Group in December 2025, intended to create a new financial experience that meets the diverse needs of customers across various contexts.

The Partnership's Goals

The partnership is focused on integrating the strengths and services of all three entities involved: Mizuho SBI Net Bank, Monex Securities, and NTT Docomo. By combining their expertise, they aim to set new standards in the industry and provide innovative financial solutions. The financial products that will be introduced include domestic and international stocks, as well as investment trusts, offering comprehensive investment opportunities.

Mizuho SBI Net Bank intends to facilitate access to Monex Securities' services directly through their website, streamlining the process for customers wishing to open a general securities account with Monex. This move will enable users to trade a range of financial products, including ETFs and various investment trust options, thereby expanding their investment avenues significantly.

Enhancing Customer Experiences

In a bid to provide excellent service to its customers, Mizuho SBI Net Bank aims to introduce simultaneous account openings for bank and securities accounts by August 2026. Additionally, they are looking into providing a fund sweep service, which will optimize customer asset management seamlessly between accounts. This initiative is part of a larger effort to create convenience and attract new customers.

Furthermore, both firms are planning to launch enticing campaigns that will engage investors and stimulate interest in the range of services available through this partnership.

Building a Comprehensive Financial Ecosystem

Mizuho SBI Net Bank has established itself as a digital bank that meets customer needs by offering services such as foreign currency deposits and robo-advisory services. The addition of Monex Securities' products to their portfolio marks a significant step forward in enhancing their offerings, ultimately creating more opportunities for customers to manage and grow their wealth effectively.

On the other side, Monex Securities, the only securities company in the Docomo Group, is poised to leverage its extensive product lineup to better support individual investors in their asset formation and investment endeavors. This partnership is expected to help expand Monex's customer base significantly, reaching a wider audience than ever before.
