As a regulated securities broker-dealer in Japan, Interactive Brokers Securities Japan (IBSJ) cannot pay credit interest to its clients due to local regulations.
However, IBSJ offers the Gaika+ program, which allows you to earn income on your non-JPY balances. This program is available to all clients of Interactive Brokers Securities Japan.

Additional Information
As a result of negative interest rates, Interactive Brokers Securities Japan may apply an effective negative rate to long balances held. The negative rate applied to accounts holding these currencies is the same regardless of account size. This rate will only be applied to credit balances above JPY 7,500,00 (or an equivalent value in other currencies), per-currency.
