I have used my Rakuten brokerage account to buy plenty of stocks in the past without there being a difference between the delivery price of the stock and the amount withdrawn from my account. However, recently, I noticed a pretty big discrepancy (check the attached photo). I've been searching my acc...

Sorry, I'm dumb. It's Rakuten証券, not Rakuten銀行... so transferring money out of my children's Rakuten Securities account, not bank account.
