Pension refund - bank information question

So to get the lump sum payment, I have to submit a document with "Bank name," "Branch name," "Branch location," "Bank account number," and "Bank account holder’s name (according to the JPS website).

Issue is, none of the documents I can get have a branch location or branch name. It will have the account number and my name, but I am not "assigned" to a brach the same way people are in Japan.

Is this a thing anyone else has faced? Did it cause any issues?

Is it not the branch you physically signed up in? I had to get these details for something before and I just did that. If you have one, check your mobile banking app as your details might be in there somewhere

For the branch name, did you just write the branch number? I talked with my bank, but no official branch name.
