Resona Bank warned it was possible transaction requests would not be completed on Tuesday as it was not possible to transfer funds to any other bank. (So if Japanese need to pay bills they are unable if they use this bank)
MUFG Bank, the country's largest bank, said it was unable to complete transfers to other banks requested online and using ATMs, including those at some convenience stores.
The so-called Zengin system is used by most of Japan's banks, with 6.5 million transactions worth $81 billion being processed by the system every day.
No mention of this in any western media outlets. 1st failure in its 50 years of existence.
