Introduction to Tanekabu

In an exciting new initiative, JCB Co., Ltd. and Monex Securities Co., Ltd. have teamed up to launch 'Tanekabu', a platform enabling users to invest in stocks using points. Set to revolutionize the way people engage with the stock market, Tanekabu allows individuals to purchase shares from as little as one stock, starting on November 7, 2024.

Tanekabu: A New Way to Invest

Tanekabu encourages investment by allowing users to exchange Oki Doki points, earned through JCB card usage, for Tanekabu points via a specialized app. This innovative service breaks the barriers of traditional stock market investing by enabling purchase of fractional shares without incurring account maintenance fees or buying costs associated with odd lot shares. As of now, users can invest in eight companies, including Net Protections Holdings, which will be available from October 1, 2025.

Working with Net Protections

Net Protections Holdings is a leading company in Japan's domestic market for deferred payment services, boasting a substantial market share. Since its establishment in 2002, the company has pioneered innovative solutions in the payment ecosystem, particularly with its 'NP Deferred Payment' service, which has rapidly gained popularity and handled over 3.8 billion transactions as of now. By integrating advanced AI technology and extensive historical data, Net Protections offers a reliable credit assessment system and maintains high approval rates with minimal default rates.

Features of Tanekabu

The Tanekabu app stands out not just for its investment capabilities, but also for its user-friendly interface. Users can start accumulating Tanekabu points without needing a brokerage account. However, to purchase stocks, an account will be required, ensuring a straightforward path to investment. JCB and Monex aim to further enhance the app's features, making it even more appealing to its users.

Current Promotions and Campaigns

To promote the Tanekabu service, JCB is running an attractive campaign from September 1 to October 31, 2025. Eligible users can earn up to 2,000 yen by exchanging their Oki Doki points for Tanekabu Free Points.
