Therefore, I will explain how to transfer a NISA account with an actual screen.
It's super easy because it's done in 3 steps!

If everything goes smoothly, the process will be completed in about two weeks.
It was easy, right?
Why I changed my NISA account to SBI Securities, living in the Rakuten economic zone
The reason why I am changing my NISA account to SBI Securities now is because I spend more than 1 million yen a year in the Rakuten economic zone.
1, SBI Securities investment trusts are cheaper
The decisive factor is that SBI Securities has lower trust fees.
The higher the deposit amount, the greater the difference.
Rakuten Securities: The minimum trust fee for domestic stock index funds is 0.176% *As of September 2022
SBI Securities: The minimum trust fee for domestic stock index funds is 0.154% *As of September 2022
Rakuten Securities: The minimum trust fee for overseas stock index funds is 0.10989% *As of September 2022
SBI SECURITIES: The minimum trust fee for overseas stock index funds is 0.0968% *As of September 2022
2, End of Neo Mobile Securities
Due to the management integration of SBI Securities and SBI Neo mobile Securities (scheduled for January 2024), it has been decided that Neo mobile will actually end.
From January 2024, SBI Securities' S share purchase fee will be practically 0 yen.
Because I wanted to continue to use the Japanese high-dividend stock investment that I had been managing with Neo mobile under the same conditions using the NISA frame.
The second reason is that I decided to transfer my NISA account to SBI Securities.
3, get more points
As far as credit card accumulation is concerned, SBI Securities offers a maximum of 4% compared to Rakuten Securities (0.2%).
List of credit cards eligible for points
・Rakuten Securities
・Choice of Rakuten card: 0.2%
・SBI Securities
・Mitsui Sumitomo Card・・・0.5〜2.0%
・TOKYU・・0.25〜4.0%
・Takashimaya・・・0.1〜0.3%
Lastly
Whether Rakuten Securities or SBI Securities is right for you is a matter of pros and cons.
I may also return to Rakuten Securities.
Please invest at your own risk. We hope this information will be of help to those who were at a loss about changing their NISA account.
