Deposit and Savings Account Numbering

Since January 2018, SBI Shinsei Bank has added "administrative procedures related to deposit and savings account numbering" to purposes of using Individual Number and personal information including Individual Number and has been asking customers to submit their Individual Number (My Number) to the Bank. However, the scope of the deposit and savings account numbering will change by the Act on Management of Deposit and Savings Accounts by Use of Individual Numbers Based on the Will of Depositors enforced in April 2024.
Details are provided below. Please submit the application form if you agree with numbering of your deposit and savings accounts.

1. Scope of deposit and savings account numbering

If you wish the numbering, we will confirm all deposit and savings accounts you have with the Bank with your information including your name and address etc to number the accounts. You cannot select target accounts and you cannot cancel numbering after completion.
Your latest name and address etc must be registered for the accounts you have with the Bank, since all deposit and savings accounts will be confirmed with your information including your name and address etc.
If the customer wishes, numbering for other financial institutions can be done at the same time (designated business category, or designation of up to five individual financial institutions).

2. Use of Individual Number

Individual Number of a depositor will be used for identifying the depositor's deposit and saving accounts in the procedures under the Income Tax Act, the Livelihood Protection Law, the Deposit and Insurance Act and other laws and regulations.
Each financial institution will manage all deposit and savings accounts of its customers with their Individual Number.

3. Advantages of numbering deposit and saving accounts

<Inquiring at the time of inheritance>
The bereaved family can query the ancestor's main financial institution in their inheritance procedures if the ancestor has numbered his/her deposit and savings accounts in advance. However, inquiry fees are required for inquiries by the bereaved family.

<Inquiring at the time of disaster>
At the time of a disaster such as earthquake, you can check whether an account exists with your main financial institution at the counter of the financial institution in the area to which you have evacuated, even if the area does not have your main financial institution or you do not have your passbook, etc.
