More than 9,000 new accounts have been opened at the Kitakyushu Bank, a member of the Yamaguchi Prefecture-based Yamaguchi Financial Group, since it opened on October 3. They are likely to exceed their initial target of 10,000 new accounts by the end of the year. One factor boosting the total was a special campaign conducted by the financial group’s subsidiary, Izutsuya With Card. If card holders shifted their card settlement bank accounts to Kitakyushu Bank, they would receive 2,000 yen worth of points that could be applied to shopping.
