Money Tap is a blockchain money transfer app that offers free, real-time money transfers to anyone with a bank account. The app was launched last October and three banks—Suminobu SBI Net Bank, Suruga Bank and Resona Bank—participated.

In March, SBI Holdings announced Money Tap received investment from 13 banks. However, unlike two other partners, Resona was not listed as a backer.
