How do I make recurrent payments in Shinsei? There's no option from what I've searched. For transfers yes a transfer from Spain to the USA or UK is a bit harder than intra-EU, but it's trivial compared to Japan where you need to apply to some gvmt card to even qualify to apply to the int transfer service, which of course I got denied 4 times because of my name.
Your whole comment seems trying to find the worst interpretation of what I said on purpose... I mean Uber taxi of course. I said some modern UIs were adopted, but still IMHO not enough to clearly show it was a huge pain point as we think (saying people "jumped" to the iPhone in Japan because of the UI also doesn't make sense, considering how long it took to be adopted and how high Android was for a very long time). Etc.
You mean because of MyNumber?
It's your responsibility to maintain a consistent katakana transliteration of your name. I don't think many banks would accept documents if your name was misspelt, no matter the country.
MyNumber's purpose is precisely to curtail white collar crime. Of course there would be tight regulations around that. But it's something that you make only once.
EU countries are economically and legally integrated to very high levels. Banking regulation is simplified for intra EU transfers. Japan is an isolate that is not part of any economic unions. Banking regulation focus on the domestic market and crime prevention. Different countries, different needs.
I agree that bad UIs are not a huge pain point. As I said, nobody cares. But that doesn't mean that bad UIs are liked or appreciated. They are tolerated.
Learn Japanese and get yourself a Resona bank account.
Yeah I didn't misspell my own name, why would you assume so?
Because your application for remittance wouldn't be rejected otherwise.
