Risks associated with foreign currency Savings Deposit

  • Though there is no risk of loss of principal in deposited foreign currency, the exchange rate to be used for currency conversion may fluctuate, and that may cause an exchange loss. Therefore, the value of Yen you will receive including interest may be smaller than the amount of Yen you initially deposited, if the deposit currency has depreciated against Yen
  • TTS rate (the rate at which Yen is converted to another currency) and TTB rate (the rate at which a foreign currency is converted to Yen) are applied respectively when Yen is converted to another currency (making deposit) and when a foreign currency is converted to Yen (making withdrawal). Foreign exchange commission (in case of USD, 1.0 Yen for conversion to or from 1.0 USD, 2.0 Yen for conversion to and from 1.0 USD) is included in the Bank’s quoted TTS rate and TTB rate and, as a result, the loss of principal and interest may occur when Yen does not fall against the foreign currency by a margin that exceeds the foreign exchange commission, not only if the deposit currency has depreciated against Yen
  • When you deposit/ withdraw in foreign currency, commission (handling charge) will be applied
