Question

Do I have to present my Individual Number (My Number) when opening a bank account?

ANSWER
From January 2018, the deposit account numbering policy will be implemented and all customers opening Seven Bank accounts will be asked to provide their Individual Number (My Number). (Note that providing your Individual Number is optional.)
All customers whose contracts for the International Money Transfer service are dated on or after January 1, 2016, and who use the International Money Transfer service, will be asked to provide their Individual Number (My Number). The Individual Number will be used for the purpose of creating legal documents for international money transfers in accordance with the laws and regulations of Japan. A convenient way to provide your Individual Number would be through the International Money Transfer service app. Prepare your Individual Number card, and then use the International Money Transfer service app.
