Company profile
researched Aug 2026Habitto is a Japan-focused consumer financial service delivered through a mobile account. Its offering is organised around three functions described on its own site as depositing, spending and planning: a savings account, a VISA debit card, and access to human financial advisers.
The savings account pays a stated annual interest rate of 0.7% (0.557% after tax) on balances up to JPY 1,000,000, with 0.4% (0.318% after tax) applied to the portion of a balance exceeding that threshold; the company notes the rate is variable. The accompanying VISA debit card returns 0.8% cashback on spending, including top-ups of transit IC cards but excluding Revolut, and spending is capped by the account balance. Cash deposits and withdrawals are available at Seven Bank and Japan Post Bank ATMs. The third pillar, Habitto Advisor, provides one-to-one consultations covering how to begin investing and saving, insurance, and life planning.
Business model
Habitto provides a deposit account, a card payment product and an advisory service to individual consumers in Japan through a single mobile account.
