AU Jibun Bank, a popular online banking service in Japan, has now resolved a significant system malfunction. Users previously faced considerable hurdles while performing banking operations due to this glitch. The bank has assured its users that most services are back to normal and apologized for any inconveniences caused.

In Japan, technical glitches in banking services are a big deal as a large portion of the population depends on online banking for daily transactions. There is a high value placed on system efficiency and reliability, and such service disruptions affect not only the daily transactions of individuals but also business operations, leading to widespread concern.

In comparison to the US or EU, Japan has a significantly higher reliance on online banking, making outages a more serious issue. While similar disruptions in the US or EU would lead to inconvenience and potentially some financial repercussion, the dense population and high usage rate in Japan make it potentially more disruptive.
