Supporting Generation Z with 'Cheer Box'

Minna no Bank, Japan's first digital bank targeting Generation Z, has launched an innovative initiative called 'Cheer Box' in collaboration with Kitakyushu's Generation Z Division. This program is set to create waves as it encourages community support and financial backing for youth-led projects.

Overview of the 'Cheer Box'

The 'Cheer Box' serves as a dedicated savings feature in the Minna no Bank app. This innovative tool allows users to contribute to their favorite teams or community activities by saving money in a specially named deposit box. Users can create a savings account with a name that includes 'Kitakyushu City Z Generation Division'. When individuals deposit money into their Cheer Box, Minna no Bank will donate 1% of the total balance to the Kitakyushu City Generation Z Division. This contribution will support operational costs for projects led by the winners of the ‘Z Generation Breakthrough Contest’.

Key Details:

• - Target Savings: Savings accounts named with 'Kitakyushu City Z Generation Division' utilizing the Box feature.
• - Calculation Period: June 4, 2025 - September 30, 2025.
• - Calculation Method: Average daily balance during the specified calculation period x 1% (rounded down under 1 yen).
• - Maximum Funding Amount: 1 million yen.
