Opening General Securities Account/NISA with SBI Shinsei

Hi everyone,

I’ve been trying to open my NISA Account with SBI Shinsei. I applied online and they sent me a paper application. I wanted some assistance with filling some fields. I’m sorry if this is a stupid question, but I’m struggling to find an answer!

There are two forms -

1. One where my name and address are pre-printed:

There is a field which asks for account number. What account number is this?

There are 3 boxes, followed by an ‘-’ and then 6 other boxes. My savings bank account number is 7 digits long.

Then, at the bottom, there are three boxes whose headings translate to “criminal proceeds law”, “number confirmation” and “address confirmation 1 and 2” - below each, there are 3 boxes to write digits. It doesn’t explicitly say ‘For Office Use’ here but I’m assuming it is?

2. In the other form, where I have to input my employer’s details - there is a field for account number again:
3 boxes, space, and the second set of boxes begins with a 0 and has 6 blank boxes to follow.

Both the forms are consistent but I don’t have a 6-digit bank account number anywhere.

Any idea what to do? Thank you so much!

Best thing would be to take photos of the sections you are having trouble with and post them here. You can use https://imgbb.com to post the images.

Any follow up on this? I have the same question. Did the OS work out what to do?

I have the exact same problem and here is an image of the form.
The white boxes are pre-filled by SBI or self-filled.

What is especially unclear is the account number (upper right) given that a linked bank account number should have one more digit.
I searched my emails for any account number SBI provided to me when filling in the form but could not find any.

The broker number (lower left) might just be something in case some intermediary mediated the account opening for me?

The lower right numbers I am completely clueless about.

My impression of that is that they want you to fill in the red-lined boxes and you can ignore anything outside that.

Anyone else?

I will simply test this hypothesis. Will report if they complain about something!

It worked flawlessly! No need to fill in those other sections!
