The downside of this bank, and perhaps all other of the high street majors, is that if I invoice an overseas company, when the payment arrives at Mizuho they will not immediately deposit into my company account. They insist on phoning me first, then I have to fax them the invoice as evidence. They say it is an anti-money laundering thing. The problem is that I travel overseas often and am unable to answer their phone calls which means the money doesn't get deposited. That is very bad form if one is running a business and needs to watch cash flow. Also Mizuho say they are unable to contact me by email. Phone and fax seem so analogue in this day and age. I am looking to see if other banks have this same rule.japanscouserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10305373121116408766noreply@blogger.com
