Is it beneficial or detrimental at all to have more than 1 bank account in Japan?

Have MUFJ but being recommended Prestia. But don’t want to shoot myself in the foot too early in case I am missing out on some detriment.

  1. I have 4 ,3of them are sleepers but its always handy to have the option .

  2. If you’re a US citizen, it can be a pain to have multiple accounts cause of FBAR.

    If you’re from a normal country, I don’t think it’s an issue.

  3. Prestia requires you to keep either ¥500,000 or ¥200,000 in foreign currency every month or else you will be charged a monthly ¥2,200 service fee. Make sure you can meet that before opening an account with them.
