No individual retail banking
Not a personal banking option

This institution does not offer general retail banking in Japan. It is listed here so the directory is complete, not as an option for opening a personal account.

01 Bank is a digital bank built primarily for business customers rather than ordinary individual retail banking. Its proposition centers on online business finance and account functionality connected to lending and business operations. It is relevant to eligible Japanese companies seeking digitally underwritten business finance, but it should not be presented as a normal consumer bank.

Who it suits

  • Digital-first personal and business customers
  • Japanese incorporated SMEs seeking online business lending
