Shinsei Bank Ltd. plans to offer new online banking services in a few months, the next president and chief executive officer said Friday.
The new services will enable customers to transfer money to overseas accounts through its Internet banking, which will boost its online service -- one of its advantages over Japanese banks in the retail banking business, Thierry Porte said in an interview with The Japan Times.
The service is expected to give a competitive edge to the bank, revived by a foreign investment group five years ago, against retail banking rivals, including Citibank. Citibank already offers a similar online transfer service.
