Mizuho’s J-Coin Pay Connects with Yokohama Bank

Mizuho Bank has newly connected its smartphone code payment service, J-Coin Pay, to The Bank of Yokohama. As a result, Yokohama Bank account holders can now make payments at approximately 1.5 million J-Coin Pay merchants nationwide. Furthermore, registering a Yokohama Bank account with J-Coin Pay enables free person-to-person money transfers.

Mizuho Bank will continue to provide “safe and secure” cashless payment services that can be used “anytime, anywhere”, “by anyone”, and “with anyone.” Mizuho Bank will also strive to further enhance their services and functions to improve customer convenience.
