New service to buy stocks at shopping points Daiwa Securities Group Inc. June 26 18:40

Daiwa Securities Group Inc., a major securities company, will start a new service to purchase stocks from a smartphone app next month, using the points collected from shopping. The competition for financial services using apps in securities and banks is intensifying.

Daiwa Securities Group Headquarters will make a new smartphone application for buying and selling stocks, etc., and will be able to purchase stocks with credit card company "Credit Saison" points and "ponta" points that can be used at Lawson etc.

Stock trading is generally done in units of 100 shares, but in order to invest even if you have a small amount of money on hand, 100 stocks that the app has set in advance can be traded in units of one share.

I would like to bring in the younger generation who are interested in asset formation.

Financial services using smartphone apps are an area where securities companies and banks are currently focusing their efforts.

Nomura Holdings has started a dedicated securities service in collaboration with LINE, a major communication application company, and Mizuho Financial Group is planning to start a service that allows you to buy investment trusts at "PayPay", which SoftBank invests. It seems to become more and more intense.
