and got strong recommendation for https://www.netbk.co.jp/ That's SBI, the non-Shinsei one, which I moved to from Shinsei before SBI bought Shinsei. I've been using them for my personal account for years. It's genuinely smooth, but on two occasions I've had to use a different bank. Once was to set ...

What a nightmare. This problem seems to be becoming more common as banks are treating the Know Your Customer and Anti Money Laundering guidance too strictly.

Not too crowded and easy to get around. As long as I engage in the same line of work I have no restrictions in where I work. ...
