～If you use "ATM with the app", you can free any fee as many times as you want!～

SBI Sumishin Net Bank, Ltd. (Head Office: Minato-ku,Tokyo; President & CEO: Noriaki Maruyama; henceforth referred to as “SSNB”) has released a web commercial featuring actor Karen Otomo to let everyone know that from Sunday, December 1, 2024, the fee for using ATMs with the app will be waived anytime and as many times as you want (limited to eligible branches*).

No ATM fees, no matter how many times you use it

SSNB is working on a variety of measures to improve customer convenience, from UI/UX improvements to product and service enhancements.

As part of this effort, from December 1, 2024 (Sunday), we have completely waived ATM fees when using ATMs with the app so that you can use ATM services at a reasonable price and conveniently.As a result, customers do not need to visit the bank, and they can easily use the ATM at the same time as running errands at convenience stores in the city.

In order to convey the convenience and fees of "ATMs with apps" to as many people as possible, we have created a WEB commercial featuring actor Karen Otomo.

In response to the question "Why do ATMs charge fees?", the WEB CM appeals to the fact that it can be easily used in daily life by expressing that it can be used at ATMs of Seven Bank and Lawson Bank nationwide, along with a sense of security about the use of SSNB's "ATM with the app".

Comment from Karen Otomo

This time, I will appear in a commercial for SSNB.
It is a refreshing commercial that tells you in a blue-based space that if you use SSNB's "ATM with the app", your smartphone can be used as a cash card, and you can deposit and withdraw money at a convenience store ATM near you without any fees!
Shooting from various angles in the studio is refreshing, and I'm looking forward to seeing the finished commercial.
I hope that through this commercial, everyone will be interested in this useful function!
