Japanese Banks for you:
Apparently in many cases the interest rate is Negative in Japan.

People end up paying money to banks to keep their own money!

Many sectors have upto flat 50% tax rates with no buckets to claim relaxations.

Many Banks are still using online portal made in 1995. Apps are just web URL which points to browser for their browser based application.

Did not expect this extreme condition with such basic thing in Japan.

Also people hate cards and online money transfer apps there and will simply refuse to offer you product unless you come up with hard cash to buy it.

No no Japanese banks do not have negative interest rates; it's the Bank of Japan ( the RBI equivalent of Japan) that has the negative bank rate. Don't get confused.

I was saying figuratively not literally.
Many banks close their ATM after 8 pm in Japan. You need to use another bank ATM where there will again be 250-300 yen charge for taking out money.

Just to bring to attention that Pfizer is just 16% effective against preventing asymptomatic infection against Delta Variant. It is 90% effective against hospitalization and deaths. This is real world Israeli data. Masking, social distancing will remain the norm.
