After moving back to Japan this year I've been going through the trials of "applying" for bank accounts. SMBC declined me for a checking account. They called me to tell me I was declined and I asked why, "I can't tell you.", I asked if there's anything I can do, "No."
I was also declined for the Amazon Japan MasterCard today.
I have a salary of 16 million yen and no debt. Like what the hell are they afraid of? I literally want to open a bank account so I can GIVE THEM MY MONEY to hold. I'm not one to immediately pull the R card but is this just plain racism?
