Hi, everyone! This is Sierra from the Sony Bank market research team.
What do you do when it comes to paying your utility or mobile phone bills?

As you may know, there are several different ways you can pay your monthly bills, such as paying them in cash at your local convenience store, or by credit card.

In this article, I will introduce an example of how to pay your monthly bills with Sony Bank WALLET. If you have just moved to Japan or are wondering how to go about paying your bills, I hope this information will prove useful.

If you can pay your utility or mobile phone bills by credit card, I recommend paying with Sony Bank WALLET (debit card with VISA functionality)! Once you register Sony Bank WALLET, the payments will be deducted automatically every month.

Paying your bills by using Sony Bank WALLET is not only a great way to save time, manage your finances and avoid missing payments, you will also receive the benefit of 0.5% to 2.0% cashback on all payments, depending on your level under our Club S rewards program. For example, if your monthly water, gas, electricity, and mobile phone bills add up to 20,000 yen, you will receive up to 400 yen cashback according to your Club S level each month, which amounts to significant savings over the course of one year.

  • Please note that some merchants may not allow you to use Sony Bank WALLET's Visa Debit function to cover charges such as provider contract or cancellation fees.
  • You can earn up to 10,000 yen per month of cashback for the total amount of your donations, taxes and utility bills.

In this article, I have introduced the example of how your Sony Bank WALLET can be used to pay your bills automatically. By consolidating all your payments using Sony Bank WALLET, it is easy to see how much money you have spent each month.
