Suruga Bank denied a minority

We filed a lawsuit in a Japanese court in 2007 to restore the access to a bank account of minorities in Japan who were illegally denied a bank account. The lawsuit was filed in a lower court in Tokyo, Japan by a minority who attempted to open a bank account in Suruga bank, but was improperly processed and rejected due to nationality. Because Japan’s law bans misuse of personal data including nationality and minorities are guaranteed equal ID for a bank account, Suruga Bank illegally took away the access rights to a bank account.
