Built-in safeguard · Account Name Verification (ANV)

Payments fail when the name doesn't match.
We solved that first.

Before a transfer leaves Fukugu's rails, the recipient's registered account name is checked against bank records in real time. If it doesn't match, the transfer is flagged — before any money moves. Fukugu is among the first licensed operators in Japan to make Account Name Verification standard on every domestic transfer.
