Hey everyone; my girlfriend is having serious issues in Japan. She moved here just over three months ago and her banking is causing her a lot of stress.
She is currently with SBI Shinsei, and the fact she only has a cash card is driving her crazy to the point where she wants to move home.
She has PayPay, and is verified, however it seems Shinsei cannot be added for top ups.
So now we are thinking of getting her a new bank account. I know Sony is popular and provides a real visa based debit card.
My question is do you think they will accept her now that she has lived here for 3 months?
She has a solid salary of ¥500k/month
She has all the documentation including a myna card.
I’m just really worried she gets rejected, as she is so stressed out by all of this already.
