SBI Shinsei Bank, Ltd. (Head Office: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President and Representative Director: Katsuya Kawashima) has introduced the Public Personal Authentication Service (※2) utilizing My Number Cards for account opening procedures within the "SBI Shinsei Bank App" starting Sunday, March 29, 2026.
Previously, account opening required multiple steps for identity verification document photography and numerous input fields, making the process time-consuming and cumbersome. The newly introduced system allows users to read their My Number Card with their smartphone, eliminating the need for identity verification document photography and some information input, leading to a smoother application process. Furthermore, the time to complete account opening has been significantly reduced from the previous "shortest next day" to "shortest 1 minute (※1)". This enables customers to apply on the spot whenever they decide, even during their busy daily lives, and start using their account immediately.
