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.
