Re: Monex and Middle Names

So, a week later, Monex call me back again to correct themselves for a second time!

They now say that as the system cannot fit my full name in English (grrr, I warned them of that already!), they will register my katakana name only.

The bank I will use has my English name as the main name, and katakana shown below that.

The bank said yen transactions between Japanese banks use katakana names, but it couldn't guarantee there will be no problem with the brokerage.

Based on what the bank said and this, should I be okay?

Edit: I think so, having re-read the other posts in this thread...

Given that I had already told them about my name exceeding their limitations, they probably planned to register me in kana all along. Perhaps, they only asked me to put my English name (with kana underneath) on both the application and ID forms just to comply with the tighter requirements about matching the names on Zairyu and MyNumber cards.
