Suruga Bank Ltd.

Credit Saison announced on the 10th that it will jointly launch a personal banking service called Saison Bank (provisional name) with its capital partner Suruga Bank in early 2027. The service aims to lock in customers through preferential interest rates based on their Saison Card usage. The partners aim to open 100,000 deposit accounts and secure 100 billion yen in deposit balances within three years. Deposit accounts opened at Suruga Bank's internet branch, the Saison Branch, will be linked with Credit Saison's services, allowing card members to check their deposit balances through an app. In addition to preferential deposit interest rates, the companies are considering offering perks such as movie and sports tickets in partnership with other companies.
