The '''Sega Mega Anser''' (メガアンサー) was an accessory for the [[Sega Mega Drive]] which gave access to an online banking system in Japan. It came with the [[Ten Key Pad]] and required the [[Sega Mega Modem]]. With an optional printer it could print receipts, statements, among other banking info. It was developed by Sega for Nagoya Bank. Sega decided to distribute the accessory to consumers and Nogoya Bank also did the same, but under a different name, the  Nagoya Banking cart (Nicekun Mini). The only differences between the two are the insert, the cart sticker, and the Nagoya logos when booting the cartridge.
