Out of curiosity, which bank are you with?
Mine was withdrawn from my SMBC account on 27th without a problem.

Sorry for reviving an old post (yet again), but I have finally received the JIS&T letters in the mail and have finished setting up my Rakuten Ideco. Based on the various comments above, people seem to be down on the Rakuten All World index fund due to the tax and management fee reasons. Is this ...

For a bit more background, my eldest will be 18 in less than five years, while my younger child is more than five years away from turn...

Apologies for hijacking this thread, but I have a slightly similar question. I received an email from Rakuten at 10:30pm on New Year's Eve, telling me that my NISA application had been approved.
