Additional Corporate Bank Account Recommendations

This topic has been discussed multiple times, but I need more recommendations or maybe new ones have come up.

I opened a Kabushiki-Kaisha in July 2024, with myself as the sole owner; ¥5 Million yen in capital. The company plans to build software products and does software consulting as well.

I have been struggling to get a Corporate Account open. So far I've received rejections from:

  • GMO Azora
  • SBI Net Bank
  • PayPay Bank

Reasons for denial are not disclosed.

I am on an employment visa now, and waiting for Business Manager visa. Each bank apparently will still open corporate accounts for those on employment visas according to my legal scrivener and the banks themselves. I'm unsure why the rejections.

Has anyone recently had any luck opening a corporate account? Any tips? Would in-person be better?

Thanks in advance!
