Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Co., Ltd : Reservations at Store Counter Procedures For New Corona Measures

As a countermeasure against infectious diseases of the new coronavirus, major financial institutions have begun to make reservations at the window of stores. Since the 6th, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking has adopted a reservation system for procedures such as address change and account opening at 426 locations, which are almost all nationwide.

In an effort to give priority to customers who made reservations via the Internet, at stores in Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, customers who made reservations proceeded with the procedure at the counter without waiting. In order to avoid having to wait for a long time in the store, we will notify you by email in the future about the order until reception. Reservation system is being adopted to reduce the risk of infection due to congestion at some of the government offices and theme parks.

This is the first time for 3 mega banks to introduce a reservation service at all branches. Make a reservation by entering the branch, date and time, details of procedure, name, etc. on a dedicated site using a computer or smartphone. There are two types of time, 30 minutes and 1 hour, and it is necessary to make a reservation by the evening of the previous business day. Deposits and withdrawals, transfers, etc. That can be completed in a short time are excluded.
