ORIX Life Launches Yen Can, a Yen-Denominated Whole Life Insurance Featuring Affordable Premiums and High Savings Potential
Oct 08, 2025
TOKYO, Japan – October 8, 2025 – ORIX Life Insurance Corporation (“ORIX Life”) announced today that it will launch Yen Can, a yen-denominated whole life insurance, on December 2, 2025. In addition, the premium rates for the currently available yen-denominated whole life insurance RISE will be revised on the same day to lower the premiums.*1
Yen Can is a yen-denominated whole life insurance product*2 that provides lifelong coverage for death or severe disability, along with a savings feature. By curbing a portion of the coverage*3 and surrender value during the premium payment period, Yen Can enables customers to secure high savings potential in the future while maintaining affordable premiums.
At the same time, ORIX Life will lower the premium rates for RISE. Without reducing coverage during the premium payment period, RISE will continue to offer lifelong coverage and high savings potential*4 at even more affordable premiums.
As Japan faces an aging population and declining birthrate, public interest in the social security system continues to grow. In this environment, self-help efforts for building assets and ensuring peace of mind in later life are becoming increasingly important. To meet the needs of customers seeking both death insurance and asset building, ORIX Life has developed and revised yen-denominated whole life insurance products featuring high savings potential. Together with the currently available U.S. dollar-denominated insurance products*5, ORIX Life now offers a wider range of options to provide products best suited to customers’ diverse values and life plans.
As a life insurance company, ORIX Life has been expanding its lineup of products by enhancing coverage, including death insurance, to meet the needs of its customers. ORIX Life will continue to offer products with coverage and premiums that customers find satisfactory, striving to remain a trusted insurance company chosen with confidence by many customers.
*1 Effective December 2, 2025, sales of medical insurance with death insurance Relief W and Short-Term Term Life Insurance (age group term life insurance) will be discontinued.
*2 This is a flat-rate premium insurance product.
*3 Coverage for death or severe disability caused by reasons other than accidental injury or infectious disease is reduced.
*4 The surrender value during the premium payment period is reduced.
*5 These include U.S. dollar-denominated whole life insurance products Candle, US RISE, and Bright, as well as single-premium whole life insurance Moonshot.
