Where an insured person makes a request expressing the wish to have the financial institution holding the person's deposit account or savings account withdraw the deposit or savings and pay the premium with the money withdrawn, by entrusting that financial institution with the task (referred to as "payment by account transfer" in Article 5, paragraph (2) of the Supplementary Provisions), the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare may approve that request, but only where the payment is found to be reliable, and approving the request is found to be advantageous for the collection of premiums.
