My SMBC and Yucho bank cards are not connected to the Plus or Cirrus international bank systems, so I can't use these cards in overseas ATMs when I travel.
Do you know any Japanese banks that do have bank cards with such access?
Bonus question: Why wouldn't a major bank like SMBC have bank cards that can be used abroad? Seems very odd to me seeing Japan is one of the leading countries for technology? |

Well, why has the U.S. been so freaking slow to implement chipped cards, and get merchants to accept them?

Mitsubishi UFJ. Gotta ask for the international ATM card, though. |
