Daiwa Next Bank's 16th Donation from Support Time Deposits

Daiwa Next Bank (Daiwa Next), a member of the Daiwa Securities Group, recently announced the donation of approximately 6.99 million yen stemming from their Support Time Deposits, marking their 16th round of charitable contributions that took place in October 2025.

This initiative, which started in November 2017, aims to tackle social issues through financial products, allowing customers to contribute indirectly while saving. Since its inception, the total amount donated has now reached an impressive approximately 114.5 million yen, highlighting the bank's commitment to social responsibility and community well-being.

Donation Recipients

The recipients of this latest donation are various local organizations aimed at supporting children through community kitchens and other essential services. Noteworthy is the focus on child welfare through the following contributions:

• - Daiwa Next Bank's charitable contributions include:

- Ishikawa's “Wa Mossou Children's Restaurant”
- Hokkaido’s “Poke Children’s Kitchen”
- Kanagawa’s “Regional Kitchen Messamiru + Mesa Grande”
- Kanagawa’s “Zushi Children’s Zero Yen Kitchen Project”

Importantly, it should be noted that the “Mokukichi” children’s kitchen in Hokkaido will no longer receive donations, as their operations are expected to pause by the end of March 2026. This strategic decision shows the bank's responsiveness to community needs and changes.

Context of Contributions

The 2021 fiscal year saw enhanced contributions due to a charity event marking the 10th anniversary of Daiwa Next Bank, reflecting the organization’s dedication to giving back to the community at significant milestones. Thus, although donations are not considered a direct contribution from depositors, each deposit leads to a positive social impact.

Daiwa Next ensures that their Support Time Deposits are aligned with societal needs while allowing participants to foster their savings. However, it is crucial to clarify that deposits made under this scheme do not result in formal donation certificates. For tax inquiries relating to deductions, customers are encouraged to consult with their tax advisors.
