Myself and my wife fly out to Tokyo on Sunday and have planned to use the HSBC everyday global account while we are over there. We got the cards about a week ago and loaded both YEN and AUD on it.
We decided to test the cards while in Australia and have learnt that neither of our physical cards works. We can’t swipe, tap or insert them into eftpos terminals. But we have noticed that Apple Pay works fine.
Because we fly out on Sunday it’s impossible for us to get replacement cards. We have enough cash we hope but we want to know if ATMs in Japan can work by tapping for phone in case we need more money?

I haven’t seen any ATM that doesn’t require you to insert your card in my 5+ years living here.
