Translation:

Nomura Shoken announced that it has tied up with Credit 109 (Headquarters: Tokyo), which is the ((credit)) card company of the Tokyu Group, and from early this month will issue the "Nomura Tokyu Top Card", which combines the functions of Tokyu's credit card and the securities card which PRC fund buyers have. This is the first time ((there has been)) a card tie-up between a securities company and a railway company.

This joint card is targetted at customers who have purchased PRC funds at Nomura Shoken. If ((a customer)) spends a night or makes purchases at a Tokyu Hotel, Tokyu Department Store, or any of the approximately 1200 stores throughout the country who accept [lit. "participate in"] credit 109, ((the customer)) can pay the charges by cashing in [lit. "surrendering"] PRC funds. Specifically, the set-up is such that the card charges are closed the 15th of each month, and by the 10th of the following month PRC funds ((equal to)) the total amount are surrendered and transferred to the customer's bank account, from which they are taken. However, PRC funds less than 30 days old [lit. "from purchase"] will not be targetted [lit. "target(s)"] for surrender. Applications will be accepted at Nomura and Credit 109 shops.
