I keep mine under my mattress. Shhh... That or in a sock perhaps. Shirley not entrust it with a financial institution?!

Last month it was MUFJ. This month Resona. Customer information is being "lost" and sold as if they're holding auctions.

The interest rates are a joke anyway, so...

Most of my savings are outside Japan. I have a little bit of money here earmarked for an apartment purchase, but no more than that.

More of the same...

Alico Japan said Thursday that credit card data for some of its insurance policyholders are suspected of having been leaked and abused this month. There are about 1,000 cases in which credit card companies have warned Alico of possible abuse of the cards and the contents of as many as 110,000 contracts so far may have been leaked, the Japanese insurer affiliated with American International Group Inc. said, urging customers to carefully check their bills from credit card companies.

Since July 14, Alico Japan has received multiple inquiries from credit card companies about alleged abuses of credit cards related to customers who used them for insurance premium payments. An emergency in-house survey has found that the personal information of customers who used credit cards for premium payments might have been leaked, it said.

Sucks was right...

Japanese credit card company Mitsubishi UFJ Nicos Co said Thursday it has lost key information on around 197,000 customers but added it is unlikely that the data have been leaked to outside sources and misused in online transactions. The latest incident is likely to trigger calls for a more reliable system for information management, especially since it follows a recent disclosure by Alico Japan of possible credit card fraud due to widespread leakage of customer data.

Mitsubishi UFJ Nicos said an internal investigation had found that the company may have mistakenly discarded the client data, which were stored in a recording medium, between 2002 to 2005 when old papers were thrown away. The data were compiled between 1993 and 2001 and include the names, addresses and bank account numbers of current and former holders of Nicos and UFJ brand cards. The lost data do not include personal identification numbers for the credit cards, the company said. But since the data were stored on computer output microfilm, or COMfiche, requiring a special device to read the information, a leak is unlikely, the company said, adding it has not received any suspicious related inquiries so far.
