Amazon uses electronic transfers to pay your sales proceeds to you. Before you can receive payments, your seller account must specify a bank account for us to deposit money into. We cannot transfer funds to a credit card or online payment system such as PayPal.
Check your bank account to avoid payment delays. Note that only authorized userscan change methods for receiving payments.
You will need the 4-digit bank code and 3-digit branch code to enter account information for a Japanese bank. Contact your bank if you don't know these codes. If your bank or branch has been merged with another bank or branch, be sure to enter the most updated information to your seller account.
If your account number is less than 7 digits, add 0 (zero) at the beginning to make it 7 in total. ex. 9876 → 0009876
