Thank you to everyone who has commented first of all. However, I've realised that I have an even bigger problem now. Apparently the katakana name on my bank account and the name on my Rakuten account do not match, so now I have to go to my bank and fix my name. What's interesting is that my name wri...

So, I'm not a bright person. I'm new to all of this and have no idea what I'm doing. I have successfully managed to open a NISA. Hurray! But I don't have a Rakuten bank account because I had previously opened an SMBC account, which I was hoping I could connect to it instead, so I could funnel money ...

I had to write my name in full romaji first and then I had to write my name in katakana in the box below. So I wrote my surname in the surname box and I wrote my first and middle name with a space in between in the "given name" box. This was also the case for the furigana boxes but obvious...

I am having the worst time of it right now. I'm trying to set up a NISA with Rakuten and the name thing is driving me up the wall. :evil: :evil: I have a first middle and last name. My last name has a space in it and no matter what I do, shortening my name, using initials etc., they just will not ac...

You’ve all been very helpful. Thank you
