Bank Account Support

Opening a bank account is a must for international students living in Japan especially those who are planning to stay longer. However, it is not necessary for those who plan to get a short-term education, less than six months.

To have a bank account while studying abroad in Japan makes life easier. So, if you need assistance in the banking processing procedure, we’ll do it on your behalf. There are several banks to choose from in Japan that allows international students to open an account, but we recommend opening an account in Yucho Bank and Shumishin SBI Net Bank.

You can also try online banking which is the most convenient way to pay your bills it also has cheaper service fees. We will be providing assistance to apply for online banking at Yucho Bank and Shumishin SBI Net Bank. If you want to know the benefits of Online Banking, then read the article, “Why You Need a Bank Account in Japan” for more details.
