Business customers located in Japan can now apply to switch their payment method to direct debit (also known as kouza-furikae). With the direct debit payment method, charges for monthly services will automatically be debited from your Japanese bank account.

You can apply to switch your payment method to direct debit from the User Console.

Upon submitting your application, an authorization request will be sent to you in the mail from Soracom's bank transaction provider, NetProtections. After you have completed the authorization form, your account payment method will be switched to direct debit. This process normally takes 2 months to complete.

Please note that direct debit is not available for individual customers.

For more details, please refer to the Change to direct debit (Japanese) documentation.
