Youme Card Cash Advance Repayment Guide: Convenience Store ATM Compatibility
Important: Early Repayment for Cash Advance is Not Supported at Convenience Store ATMs
The most important point regarding Youme Card cash advance repayment is that you cannot make any early repayment (deposit) transactions at any convenience store ATM, including Seven Bank, Lawson Bank, E-net, or AEON Bank. Repayment of amounts used for cash advance must be done using the methods described below.
Basic Repayment Method: Automatic Debit from Your Registered Account
The amount used for cash advance is automatically debited from your pre-registered bank account on the monthly payment date, along with your shopping charges. This is the standard repayment method.
Early Repayment Method: Bank Transfer (Advance Contact Required)
If you wish to repay before the scheduled payment date to reduce the amount of interest you pay (early repayment), you must do so via bank transfer. This procedure requires you to contact them in advance.
Early Repayment Application Procedure (Phone Contact)
If you wish to make an early repayment, you must first contact the Youme Card call center by phone. Applications cannot be made through the website. When you call, you will provide your desired repayment date and amount. You will then be informed of the exact repayment amount, including interest up to that day, and Youme Card’s designated bank account for the transfer.
Confirming the Transfer Account and Important Notes for Transferring
Transfer the amount you were quoted over the phone to the designated account. You are responsible for any bank transfer fees. The name on the transfer must be that of the cardmember.
Timing for Credit Line Restoration After Repayment
When you make an early repayment via bank transfer, your available credit line will be restored after Youme Card has confirmed receipt of the payment. This usually takes several business days, so your limit will not be restored immediately after repayment.

Important Information and Cautions for Using Youme Card at Convenience Store ATMs
Checking Your Cash Advance Limit and Applying for an Increase
To use the cash advance service, a “cash advance credit limit” must be set in advance. You can check your current limit on the “Youme Members’ Site” or on your statement. You can also apply for a credit limit increase through the “Youme Members’ Site,” but this is subject to a prescribed screening process.
Per-Transaction and Daily ATM Withdrawal Limits
In addition to your own cash advance limit, each ATM you use has its own per-transaction limit. For example, there may be a restriction, such as being able to withdraw only up to ¥200,000 at a time. If you wish to make a larger transaction, you will need to do so in multiple steps.
Cash Advance Interest Rate (Annual Percentage Rate) and How to Calculate Interest
The cash advance interest rate for Youme Card is set at 18.0% APR. Interest is calculated on a daily basis using the following formula:
Interest = Amount Borrowed × Annual Percentage Rate ÷ 365 days (or 366 in a leap year) × Number of Days Used
The number of days used is the period from the day after the borrowing date to the payment date (or early repayment date).
How to Inquire/Reset Your PIN If You Forget It
A 4-digit PIN is required to use the cash advance service. If you forget it, you can request an inquiry through the “Youme Members’ Site” or by phone. After the procedure, a document containing your PIN will be mailed to your registered address. For security reasons, your PIN cannot be given to you directly on the spot.
Possible Reasons and Solutions If You Cannot Use Cash Advance
If you are unable to use cash advance at an ATM, the following reasons are possible:
・The cash advance credit limit has not been set or has been exceeded.
・Your card is locked due to entering the wrong PIN multiple times.
・The card’s magnetic stripe is faulty or the IC chip is damaged.
・It is during system maintenance hours for the ATM or the card company.
・Your card payments are overdue.
First, check your usage status on the “Youme Members’ Site.” If the issue is not resolved, please contact the Youme Card call center.
