So, I opened up my iDeCo account with Rakuten, and this month the first 12,000 yen was taken from my wages. It showed up on my Rakuten page and I set my fund allocation.

The 12,000 has disappeared from my account, but I can't see anywhere that I have actually bought any funds.

Nothing shows up in the 保有商品一覧, the 注文照会 displays the message: 該当する情報はありません。

評価損益 and other sections just show zeros. It's the same story if I visit the JIS&T website--all zeros.

Does anyone know why this could be? Does it take a while for things to show up on the account pages or am I doing something wrong somehow?

Any help greatly appreciated!

I remember everything taking much longer than I expected with iDeCo -several weeks per step. I would just keep checking -the funds should show up before the second withdrawal

Thanks RJ--I guess that's reassuring.
At the moment it just looks like my dosh has vanished!

For what it's worth my iDeco account at Rakuten also got activated last month, and no sign yet of the money. I have also read here and there that this is normal, so probably better to wait at least one month before assuming something is wrong.

Cheers Noobster. I think I'm starting to calm down now

I forgot about the 3000yen fee and was flipping out as my funds had increased but I was showing a loss

Just looked at my account. The rough timings seem to be:

26th of the month -money taken out of bank account
15th of the month -orders go through
22nd of the month -investments show up in account

I looked at my account today, and my contributions started to show up.

When I opened my account this summer, they first took 46k (2 months worth) and it took like another month before it finally showed up in the account... was a bit like wtf.

But yes, the lead time before stuff shows in your account from when the money was taken out is almost like a month.

This thread is a big relief! My first two payments, 46k in total, went out on December the 26th, and I was wondering why they hadn't shown up yet.... Wonder who's playing around with my money while it slowly meanders across to my iDeCo....
