I just got My Number Card, and finally able to successfully verify my PayPay account with My Number Card. Then I tried to link my MUFG account, but it seems they say my kana name does not match? I noticed that my kanji and kana name from My Number Card is written in romaji, while in my MUFG account my kanji name is in romaji and my kana name is in half-width kana. I saw some posts but they mentioned about verifying identity with MUFG, while I already past that process.
Any idea what I can try to link PayPay with my MUFG account?
Thanks in advance!

Do you have a middle name?
What worked for me was entering my kanji name with full width alphabet, and my kana name without any spaces.
Also any ‘half’ kana characters is usually changed to full size. Eg. ジョン becomes ジヨン.
Eg: John Michael Doe (ジョン・マイケル・ドウ)
Bank first: JOHN MICHAEL
Bank last: DOE
Bank Kana First: ジヨン(space) マイケル
Bank kana last : ドウ
PayPay First: ＪＯＨＮ(space)ï¼ï¼©ï¼£ï¼¨ï¼¡ï¼¥ï¼¬
PayPay Last: ＤＯＥ
PayPay Kana first: ジヨンマイケル
PayPay Kana Last: ドウ
One thing you can try is to get someone else try to make a transfer to your account from a bank that has the name-lookup feature, to see the exact kana your bank presents and capture that information to use.
(in some cases, it’s possible to view it by attempting to do a transfer to your own account number)
