It's the only one, really.

There is nothing in the regulations that would have the bank deny someone's application for international remittance, except lack of MyNumber or invalid documentation.

Are you a Japanese bank remittance application processor?

  • I worked for a bank in the remittance area for two decades. I know the process really well, including the application part.

    Anyone has the legal right to send a remittance. So it is an automatic yes, unless there is a compelling no. Most compelling nos would affect locals only (involvement with antisocial groups, certain criminal convictions), and the only compelling nos for foreigners are either invalid documentation or being a politically important person.

    OP is doing it all himself, so they are not a PIP. Most foreigners (more than 97%) who have their application rejected, is because they didn't send the correct documents, or the documents contained misspellings.

    You seem to be a bit bothered by the fact that I know remittances? But it's my job to know.

    • Then you’ve just contradicted yourself here. You said the only reason an application would be denied is if the name is misspelled (and assumed that’s why the OP was rejected), yet it could also be due to missing documents, so it feels a bit presumptuous when you said they misspelled their name.
