Officially sends SMS

Do they send SMS? (Official statements)

MUFG Bank's official FAQ states its SMS sender number is 0005020013 and that no other number is used for Mitsubishi UFJ DIRECT transactions.

Officially published senders

Sender phone numbers / codes

0005020013

Listed in the official FAQ as the sender for Mitsubishi UFJ DIRECT one-time-password SMS.

Conversely, a message showing a listed name or number is NOT necessarily genuine: SMS sender displays can be spoofed. The safest approach is to avoid links in the message and check directly via the official app or a bookmarked official website.

Key points from official statements

The official FAQ states MUFG Bank never includes URLs in its SMS; any URL-bearing SMS in its name is not official.
MUFG Bank never directs customers to the online-banking login screen via SMS/email to request passwords or PINs.
MUFG Bank sends 6-digit one-time passwords by SMS to the registered mobile number for transfers and certain transactions.
