English support: Yes

A licensed money-transfer service that uses the mid-market exchange rate with a transparent, upfront fee — often cheaper than bank wires for personal transfers.

Highlights

  • Mid-market exchange rate with a visible fee
  • Multi-currency account and debit card
  • Clear estimate of the recipient amount before sending
Things to consider
  • Transfer limits and verification apply to large amounts
  • Not a substitute for a Japanese bank account

Fees: Transparent per-transfer fee plus mid-market rate — compare the recipient amount.
