Customize in editorAbout this seal
The ginkoin is the seal a person registers with their bank when opening an account. It authorizes withdrawals, transfers and account changes, and is kept separate from the jitsuin and the everyday mitomein so that compromising one seal does not expose the others. It typically shows the family name or full name in Mincho or tensho within a round frame.
Common uses
- Opening and managing bank accounts
- Authorizing withdrawals and transfers

- Enter the name to register with the bank.
- Choose Mincho or tensho for a clean, registrable look.
- Keep the round frame at a typical personal-seal size.
- Export a transparent PNG or SVG.
Frequently asked questions
Should the ginkoin be the same as my jitsuin?
No — best practice is to keep the bank seal, registered seal and everyday seal distinct, so that losing one does not compromise the others.
Does the ginkoin show the full name?
It can show the family name or the full name. The editor lets you set the text and pick Mincho, tensho or brush fonts.
Legal & usage
Seals render in your browser for design and demonstration only. A real ginkoin must be carved and registered in person at your bank — only create one depicting a name you are entitled to use.
