Matsui Securities to Launch Children's NISA Account Reservations

Matsui Securities, based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, is set to start accepting reservations for Children's NISA account applications beginning October 1, 2026, as part of its commitment to support families in asset formation. The Children's NISA program is scheduled to commence in January 2027, targeting investors aged 0 to 17. This new initiative allows annual contributions of up to 600,000 yen, with a total investment cap of 6 million yen, focusing on long-term, diversified investment through mutual funds. The investment gains from this program will be tax-exempt, providing a significant advantage for young investors.

Matsui Securities emphasizes the importance of education and clarity regarding this new system. They will provide comprehensive resources and support to help parents understand the nuances of the Children's NISA and to facilitate a smooth account opening process. The company has reserved a special section on its website to address the various queries associated with Children's NISA, ensuring that even first-time investors can easily navigate the new investment landscape.

Account Opening Process

Starting October 1, 2026, the application process for Children's NISA accounts will differ based on whether the applicant already holds a minor account in their child's name. Here’s a breakdown of the steps:

For those already holding a minor account:
1. Log in to your child's minor account.
2. Select "Account Management" and then "Status of Various Account Openings."
3. Click on "Open Children's NISA," and follow the on-screen instructions to apply.
4. Once the application is submitted, Matsui Securities will mail the required documents to your registered address.
5. Fill out the necessary forms and return them to Matsui Securities.
6. After the company accepts the documents, the application will move to tax office examination. Once approved, the Children's NISA account will be established.

For those without a minor account:
1. You will need to apply for a minor account in your child's name.
- Note: If the guardian does not currently hold a general account with Matsui Securities, it is necessary to open one first. This can be done quickly via mobile application, often on the same day.
2. After successfully applying, Matsui Securities will send you the documents for establishing the minor account, along with the Children's NISA application forms.
3. Complete the required information and send them back to Matsui Securities.
4. The minor account will be opened first, followed by the Children's NISA account upon approval from the tax office.

Stay Informed and Supportive

While the reservation process starts on October 1, 2026, it is important to note that some parts of the account opening, particularly the tax office approval, may take place later, around December 2026. Therefore, families should anticipate a timeframe for account activation.

For any inquiries regarding the Children's NISA account, families can reach out to the NISA Support Hotline available on weekdays from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM at 0120-785-740.
