Introduction
Mitsui Sumitomo Trust Club and Trust Bank are collaborating to launch a specialized site specifically for Diners Club members. Scheduled to go live on December 1, 2025, this initiative named "Diners Club × Furusato Choice Furusato Tax" aims to offer exceptional gifts carefully selected from a wide array of over 760,000 items associated with 1,700 local government bodies across Japan.
About the Collaboration
The partnership between Mitsui Sumitomo Trust Club—known for issuing the Diners Club card—and Trust Bank, which operates one of Japan's largest comprehensive Furusato Tax sites, represents a unique approach to enhance member experiences. The curated items will comprise exclusive crafts, artisanal furniture, unique jewelry, and exceptional travel experiences that promise meaningful connections and cultural immersion.
Diners Club has always aimed to provide special experiences beyond the standard credit card benefits. By launching the "Furusato Tokimeki Project" in 2024, they plan to deliver the charm of local craftsmanship and culture directly to their members. In doing so, they respond to member demands for smart and valued use of Furusato Tax contributions.
Trust Bank shares the vision of fostering sustainable relationships between regions and people through Furusato Tax. They have maintained a commitment to preserve the original intentions of this tax initiative, focusing on supporting local communities.
