How do I make recurrent payments in Shinsei? There's no option from what I've searched. For transfers yes a transfer from Spain to the USA or UK is a bit harder than intra-EU, but it's trivial compared to Japan where you need to apply to some gvmt card to even qualify to apply to the int transfer service, which of course I got denied 4 times because of my name.
Your whole comment seems trying to find the worst interpretation of what I said on purpose... I mean Uber taxi of course. I said some modern UIs were adopted, but still IMHO not enough to clearly show it was a huge pain point as we think (saying people "jumped" to the iPhone in Japan because of the UI also doesn't make sense, considering how long it took to be adopted and how high Android was for a very long time). Etc.
- bluepizza 4y agoYou mean because of MyNumber? It's your responsibility to maintain a consistent katakana transliteration of your name. I don't think many banks would accept documents if your name was misspelt, no matter the country. MyNumber's purpose is precisely to curtail white collar crime. Of course there would be tight regulations around that. But it's something that you make only once. EU countries are economically and legally integrated to very high levels. Banking regulation is simplified for intra EU transfers. Japan is an isolate that is not part of any economic unions. Banking regulation focus on the domestic market and crime prevention. Different countries, different needs. I agree that bad UIs are not a huge pain point. As I said, nobody cares. But that doesn't mean that bad UIs are liked or appreciated. They are tolerated. Learn Japanese and get yourself a Resona bank account.
- franciscop 4y agoYeah I didn't misspell my own name, why would you assume so?
- bluepizza 4y agoBecause your application for remittance wouldn't be rejected otherwise.
- yladiz 4y agoWhy are you being so flippant here? Misspelling the name is almost certainly _not_ the only reason something like this could be rejected.
- bluepizza 4y agoIt's the only one, really. There is nothing in the regulations that would have the bank deny someone's application for international remittance, except lack of MyNumber or invalid documentation.
- yladiz 4y agoAre you a Japanese bank remittance application processor?
- bluepizza 4y agoI worked for a bank in the remittance area for two decades. I know the process really well, including the application part. Anyone has the legal right to send a remittance. So it is an automatic yes, unless there is a compelling no. Most compelling nos would affect locals only (involvement with antisocial groups, certain criminal convictions), and the only compelling nos for foreigners are either invalid documentation or being a politically important person. OP is doing it all himself, so they are not a PIP. Most foreigners (more than 97%) who have their application rejected, is because they didn't send the correct documents, or the documents contained misspellings. You seem to be a bit bothered by the fact that I know remittances? But it's my job to know.
- yladiz 4y agoThen you’ve just contradicted yourself here. You said the only reason an application would be denied is if the name is misspelled (and assumed that’s why the OP was rejected), yet it could also be due to missing documents, so it feels a bit presumptuous when you said they misspelled their name.
