Toyota Finance Starts Fundraising with 1 Billion Yen Token Bond

Toyota Financial Services, Toyota Finance, and Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group (hereinafter referred to as SMBC Group), along with BOOSTRY, which provides blockchain infrastructure, announced on the 18th that they have decided to issue the security token bond "TOYOTA Wallet Tsumugu Bond" issued by Toyota Finance.

Starting from the same day, applications for the lottery are being accepted on the official Toyota Finance website, allowing applications without the need to open a securities account through integration with the payment app "TOYOTA Wallet."

The total amount of the bond is 1 billion yen, with a term of one year, and the minimum application amount ranges from 100,000 yen to 99,900,000 yen (1 unit is 100,000 yen). The fundraising period is from the 18th until 5 PM on September 2, with the issuance date set for October 27. The financial advisor is SMBC Nikko Securities, and the bond administrator is Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation.

Toyota Financial Services and Toyota Finance had issued their first security token bond through a securities company in March 2025. This time, they adopted a self-fundraising format that allows for integrated design from application to guidance during bond holding and benefit provision, marking the first self-fundraising initiative for the Toyota Group.

This ST bond employs a scheme that does not utilize collection agency services during credit card payments, allowing investors without the "TS CUBIC CARD" issued by Toyota Finance to apply. The issuance infrastructure uses the blockchain platform "ibet for Fin" provided by BOOSTRY.

Benefits

Multiple benefits are prepared for purchasers of this ST bond. Depending on conditions, TOYOTA Wallet balances will be awarded, with 500 yen equivalent if QUICPay is set up with Apple Pay or Google Pay, 1,000 yen equivalent if iD or Mastercard is linked to a bank account, and 2,500 yen equivalent if a credit card is set up.

As a lottery benefit, tickets for watching events at Fuji Speedway (20 people per event) and test drive experiences of selected classic cars from LEXUS, GR, and Toyota (total of 14 people) are available. If a new TOYOTA or LEXUS vehicle is purchased, a TOYOTA Wallet balance will be awarded, with 50,000 yen equivalent for using "credit around the car" and 10,000 yen equivalent for cash or other methods.

Applications will be accepted until 5 PM on September 2, with bond issuance to winners scheduled for October 27.
