# Add a bank account for payouts in Japan

Stripe requires a domestic bank account for payouts — no SWIFT code needed.
To add your Japanese yen (JPY) bank account, you need:
* Account number
* Branch
* Account holder name in katakana or romaji
* Account type
  * Futsu (普通) and toza (当座) are supported
## Account requirements
* **Corporations**: Add your corporate designation (such as `カ`) before or after your company name in katakana.
* **Account number length**: Bank account numbers must be 7 digits. If yours is shorter, add leading zeros. For example, `123456` becomes `0123456`.
* **Name matching**: Register your bank account under your business's legal name. Sole proprietors should use the account representative's name on record. A name mismatch may block your payouts.
