Japanese banks are going full KYC turbo mode or is it just because I’m a foreigner here ?

UFJ and Mizuho calling me on my phone to check “unusual” movements and asking me about my “line of work”.

Told them I was in the process of creating my own country and was selling residency and citizenship for 1 kidney and 3 BTC.

Same as always, as far as I recall! 🐶🐾🫡

I have never any had issues with them, but that was a long time ago.

I have decided to subscribe to a GMO account.

My second name is Justin Käse.

They always did plenty of KYC shit since the beginning. Sending money abroad 💯 more! 🐶🐾🫡

It's been this way for at least 20 years, if not longer. Anytime I wanted to send any amount of money overseas, I had to tell them why. Same for receiving wires. They wouldn't credit the account until I physically went into a branch and explained what the money was for. And "because it's my money" wasn't an acceptable answer 😂
