Opening an account
- Please note that the only type of account that you can apply to open from this app is a bankbook-free general account "Yucho Direct + (Plus)”.
- If you require a bankbook, you can request it (switching to a bankbook-type account) on an ATM that has a bankbook carry-over function using the cash card that was issued. For bankbook-free general account "Yucho Direct + (Plus)” opened on or after April 7, 2025, the first request made within two months of opening your account is free (then the standard fee applies).
- If you have a residence card, the Operation Support Center will need to confirm the details of your application.
Please understand that this confirmation can take more than a week in some cases. The confirmation result will be sent to you at the e-mail address you provided when you use the app. - After opening an account, your cash card will be sent by simple registered mail with no forwarding required to the address you provided. If you plan to move in the near future, please complete the procedures after you have moved (automatic forwarding is not available).
- You cannot register your stamp when opening an account with this app.
For customers who need to register their personal stamp to set up automatic payments for their public utility charges from their bank account or for other such purposes, first open an account and then take your IC cash card, the stamp you wish to register, and a personal identification document with a photo
(residence card, etc.) to the savings counter of the nearest Japan Post Bank or post office savings counter and complete the procedure. - If you are a foreign national, you cannot open a children’s account with this app.
Please visit your nearest Japan Post Bank or post office savings counter to do this.
