if there are any mistakes or omissions, the remittance may not reach our bank. In addition, if the money remitted is returned to the sending bank, other charges and expenses may be deducted by the intermediary bank.
Remittances to Japan cannot be made from certain financial institutions. For details, please ask your local bank.
All payments will be processed only after confirmation by our bank.

In compliance with Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Act and other related regulations, we may contact the beneficiary and ask for documents to confirm the details of the transaction every time you make a transaction.
In this case, it may take longer time to complete the remittance than usual.(In some cases it may take more than a month.)

Even if you have conducted similar or same transactions with us in the past, we may ask you to provide more detailed information than before.

Please note that we may refuse to deposit funds into your account in the following cases:
- If you are unable to cooperate with our requests.
- Even if you provide us with the necessary documents, we may find it difficult to comply with the requirements of the Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Act and other related regulations.

In addition, if we deem it difficult to obtain detailed information about each underlying counterparty due to the nature of the transaction, we may refuse your payment without requesting you to provide documents.
In that case, we return the money to the remitter.
If your account’s information such as your name and address is not up to date, we may not be able to contact you to confirm the details of the remittance and consequently decline your application.
Some remittance information may not be communicated to the beneficiary.
If the information is particularly important, the remitter should contact the beneficiary directly.
