Automatic debit

The Association encourages this mode of payment for annual fees; and cites the following merits.

  1. One saves on time and effort spent in going to the bank or post office;remittance formalities are avoided.
  2. It is not necessary to keep the pay deadline in mind
  3. No commission on transfer
  4. Formalities are unnecessary, unless one transfers his bank account.
  5. Automatic debit system is explained in the GIS Newsletter on every March and others, there should thus be no doubts
  • * All money transfer issues are handled by "Mitsubishi UFJ Factor Corp".
  • * Bank transfers are shown on the passbook as "GISAnenkaihi".
  • * Automatic transfers are conducted on June 27, if it falls on a weekend or a public holiday then the transfer takes place on the next business day.
  • * The following financial institutions can be used for the automatic debit system

    Nationwide city banks, nationwide regional banks, nationwide second regional banks, nationwide trust banks, long-term credit banks, national labor credit associations, and national agricultural cooperative association(credit unions and the post office are not used for this service).
