Bank of the Ryukyus Co., Ltd. / T Point Japan Co., Ltd.

Bank of the Ryukyus Co., Ltd. (Head office: Naha City, Okinawa Prefecture; President and CEO: Munehiro Kinjo; hereinafter referred to as "Bank of the Ryukyus") and T Point Japan Co., Ltd. (Head office: Shibuya Ward, Tokyo; President and CEO: Muneaki Masuda; hereinafter referred to as "T Point Japan") will launch the T-POINT service for financial products handled by Bank of the Ryukyus from December 2, 2013. This service is the first of its kind for a financial institution in Okinawa Prefecture.

This service, provided by Ryukyu Bank and T Point Japan, will give you 200 T-POINT if you designate your employer's new salary transfer destination to a Ryukyu Bank account. In addition, if you designate Ryukyu Bank as your salary transfer account and purchase a savings investment trust, you will receive 5 T-POINT (up to 200 points) per month for every 5,000 yen spent. Additionally, as a benefit for those who hold the Ryugin DC Card, if you sign up for a new Ryugin DC Card after designating your salary transfer account with Ryukyu Bank, you will receive 60 T-POINT at the end of January each year.
The stores that offer the T-POINT service are the Bank of the Ryukyus' main and branch offices (excluding the seven loan center branches) for designated salary transfer accounts, and the Bank of the Ryukyus' main and branch offices (excluding the Naha Airport branch, the Aja Market branch, and the seven loan center branches) for investment trusts. You can also apply for the Ryugin DC Card at all Ryukyu Bank branches and loan centers.

Okinawa Prefecture has the highest membership rate in Japan, with 55.2% of the prefecture's residents holding a T-CARD, which is more than half of the prefecture's residents. The two companies will work together to expand the use of Ryukyu Bank among T-CARD users, and aim to provide even more satisfying services that meet the needs of customers and the local community. In the future, we will also consider expanding the T-POINT service to other financial products handled by Ryukyu Bank.
