About Powered Teiki
•  PowerFlex account holders are eligible.
•  Deposit amount: Equivalent amount of 1 million yen in units of one yen.
•  Term: 1 month, 3 months, 6 months,1 year
•  There is no automatic extension for this deposit.
•  The maturity date corresponds with the deposit date for each term. When the relevant date is a bank holiday or a holiday overseas, the succeeding business day will be applied instead.
•  The Interest rate and the Strike rate shall be determined based on the currency option market.
•  Determination on receiving currency at maturity: Shinsei Bank will make a judgment based on the actual exchange rate between yen and the alternate currency at 3 o'clock p.m. Tokyo Time on 2 business days before the maturity date.
•  Applications made later than 2 o'clock p.m. on a bank business day will be a transaction on the following business day.
•  In case the deposit is exchanged into the alternate currency, the matured amount converted in yen might be below the original deposited yen amount depending on the market rate.
•  Cancellation before maturity is not permitted.
If we find it necessary to accept cancellation before maturity, we will cancel the deposit and the remaining amount which we will deduct deposit restructuring amount and other costs occurred to the bank during cancellation day to maturity day, which is calculated by our original formula, will be credited to your PowerFlex Yen savings account. Please note that in this case, your principal is not guaranteed.
•  We take commissions for foreign currency remittances. In case receivable currency at maturity is foreign currency and you wish to exchange the Foreign currency to Yen, the exchange rate specified by our bank (TTB) including exchange fee will be applied. Therefore, even without exchange rate fluctuation after receiving in foreign currency, the receipt amount may fall below the principal of yen that has been exchanged to foreign currency.
•  Brochures are available at Shinsei Financial Centers.
•  Please deposit any excess funds.
•  Foreign currency deposits are not covered by Deposit Insurance.
