SBI Securities Co., Ltd. (Head office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Takamura Masato; hereinafter referred to as "SBI Securities") and T Point Japan Co., Ltd. (Head office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President and COO: Kitamura Kazuhiko; hereinafter referred to as "T Point Japan") have entered into a business partnership agreement, and are pleased to announce that SBI Securities will be introducing the "T Point Program" from Saturday, July 20, 2019 (planned), which will enable users to accumulate and use "T Points," Japan's largest shared points service*2, with 69.46 million users*1. This will enable SBI Securities customers to (1) use T Points to purchase investment trusts through "T Point Investment" and (2) accumulate T Points through trading in domestic stocks. In addition, to commemorate the launch of this points service, we will be running a campaign to give away T points.

SBI Securities has been working to create an environment that makes it easier for people to start building assets, such as by lowering the minimum purchase amount for investment trusts to 100 yen and improving its installment services. As a result, we have received support from a wide range of individual investors, from beginners to experienced investors, and have established ourselves as the No. 1 online securities company*3 not only in the number of accounts, but also in terms of the balance of assets under custody and individual stock brokerage trading value.
The launch of this points service will not only provide beginner customers with an opportunity to build assets, but will also allow existing investors to make effective use of their T Points.

Based on its management philosophy of "customer-centricity," SBI Securities will continue to expand its range of attractive products and services, aiming to provide "the industry's lowest fees and highest level of service," and will support the asset formation of individual investors.
T Point Japan will continue to aim for T Points to be a familiar point for many people and to be "a point for people, connecting people and society."
