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.
Why are you being so flippant here? Misspelling the name is almost certainly _not_ the only reason something like this could be rejected.
