Minna no Bank, Ltd. (President: Kenichi Nagayoshi) has launched 'Minna no Bank Business Account,' a banking service for corporations that can be completed entirely online, from application to daily payment operations.
This service was born in response to real-world voices from newly established corporations and small business owners who face challenges such as time-consuming account opening procedures, burdensome monthly transfer fees, complex password management, and the desire to deposit funds at high interest rates.
In this first phase of release, the service focuses on strictly selected functions necessary for business accounts, pursuing time and cost savings as well as safety through a simple and practical interface.
### Service Overview - **Product Name:** Minna no Bank Business Account (Ordinary Deposit) - **Eligibility:** Profit-making corporations registered in Japan (K.K., Limited Company, G.K., etc.). Limited to one account per corporation, applied for by the representative personally. - **Services Provided:** Transfers (immediate/scheduled), balance inquiry, issuance of statements/certificates (Web). - **Transfer Fees:** To Minna no Bank: Free / To other banks: 130 JPY per transaction (tax included).
### Key Features 1. **Fully Online:** Open an account as early as the next business day. No need to visit a physical bank branch. 2. **Industry-Low Fees:** A flat fee of 130 JPY for transfers to other banks, regardless of the amount. No monthly service fees. 3. **Passkey Authentication:** Eliminates the need for complex password management by using biometric authentication on the device.
