Ahhhh right, I think I haven't done that, should be alright I think? Let me go take a look. Thanks for the reminder! Edit: I've just transferred my money from the NeoBank (savings account?) To the hybrid account and set my tsumitate NISA to withdraw the money from there. Fingers crossed that nothing...

Hi, I hope I can contribute here. I have been holding on to my home country's SIM card for over 3 years now. The main reason is because of 2FA, since everything related to government websites require an SMS confirmation, thus I had gotten the cheapest plan. It cost around 1600 yen I think for 2gb pe...

Hi ToushiTime, In the end I did not apply for the cash card but I did get the card that's required to withdraw cash. As a test I tried to deposit 50k yen into my sumishin account via 7-11 bank ATM yesterday. One concern about that though, is that after May or June I think that they are going it to l...

Another quick update. Neobank sent me my login details together with my 認証番号カード today. (Without it I could still set the password but with no info on what each password is used for, the letter they sent explained in more details) I've set everything up and I can login to my Neobank account now. Howe...

Thanks for the reply.

Well I will just wait for now. I received an SMS from sumishin NeoBank this morning, apparently they are going to send me something so until then I shall wait and see.

Will post more updates whenever I have any, since it might help someone in future.

Hi ToushiTime, Thank you for your quick reply. I was not sure about the part regarding the logging in with the id and password. Maybe I should download their app and see. Because from the page it actually seemed like I could just log in and set whatever password I wanted, which would be really conve...

Quick update, along with new questions... My tsumitate NISA is seems to be going through review in the tax office or whatever the following text means. これより、お客さまのつみたてNISA口座開設を税務署へ申請いたします。 In the meantime it does seem like I can put funds in but is that recommended? Or should I just wait for the all ...

Ah! Is that so? Thank you for clarifying!

Now I feel stupid. :'( Luckily I copied that text here if not I wouldn't be able to proceed.

I will apply for an account choosing the first option then. Thanks again!

Hi ToushiTime, Thank you for the suggestion. I've checked the checkbox so fingers crossed that I will get a notification this time. :) For me I really dislike speaking to people on the phone since you can't see their expression. So if possible I rather use email (which also has google translate capa...

Hi ToushiTime, Thank you for your reply! Sorry for my late replies, I don't seem to be getting notifications for this thread so I manually check everyday. There's probably a setting for it somewhere but I will have to go look for it. Actually I'm pretty sure I did apply for an online bank account wh...
