Have your residence card ready when applying to open an account.
Please note that the only type of account that you can apply to open from the Yucho Tetsuzuki App
is a bankbook-free general account "Yucho Direct + (Plus)”, for which no bankbook is issued.
* 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).
* To open your account, the Operation Support Center will need to confirm the details of your application.
The confirmation result usually takes about a
week to arrive at the e-mail address you provided.
You cannot undertake this transaction if:
- Customers who already have a general account with us (This also applies to customers who are not currently using the account except in cases where the account has already
been closed)
