Tokyo Shinsei Bank


Shinsei offers a number of unique services as part of its basic "PowerFlex" savings account, including:

  • Free 24-hour ATM service, with locations in many Tokyo Metro, Keikyu and Kintetsu stations, as well as Seven-Eleven and Daily Yamazaki convenience stores
  • "Cash back" for any ATM fees incurred when making withdrawals overseas
  • Banking office hours until 7 PM in many locations (most Japanese banks close much earlier, often as early as 3 PM)
  • Foreign currency deposits as part of the standard account package (unique to Shinsei and Tokyo Star Bank)
  • Instant cash card issuance for customers opening new accounts in person with photo ID

The Shinsei banking system is based on the FLEXCUBE software developed by i-flex Solutions. Shinsei also gears many of its services toward resident foreigners in Japan, with English-language online banking and telephone support, as well as no requirement for a personal seal in order to open an account.
Many Shinsei branches are combined with Starbucks coffee shops.
