Sender phone numbers / codes

0120563143

0032069818
0120843043
0120452768

Breakdown per the official FAQ (published 2025-09-12): SMBC Direct = 0120563143 (docomo/au) or 0032069000 (SoftBank/Y!mobile); account opening = 0120314319; Olive switchover = 0032069818; card loans = 0120843043 / 0120452768.

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

SMBC never includes URLs in its SMS; any URL-bearing SMS in its name is not official.
SMBC warns that sender displays can be spoofed (including alphanumeric IDs), so the sender field alone is not proof.
Legitimate SMBC URLs begin with www.smbc.co.jp, qa.smbc.co.jp, mb.smbc.co.jp, direct.smbc.co.jp or direc3.smbc.co.jp.
