Is it normal that Suruga Bank keeps asking me every year for an “updated” copy of my zairyu card EVERY year under the guise of being vigilant about preventing money laundering with threats of placing restrictions on my account if I do not apply. I’m PR and have plenty of years left on my card, and haven’t changed cards since the last time I sent in my info.
I haven’t seen this with any of my other banks, nor do Japanese people I know using Suruga get these requests (all the forms are multilingual focused towards non-Japanese). I’m curious to see if other people face these level of checks at either Suruga or other banks?
P.S. I’m not looking for bank recommendations
