JAPAN POST BANK offers three options for making a remittance from Japan to overseas. To remit to the payee’s bank or postal giro account, you can choose either Account Transfer or Payment to Account. You can also choose to send postal money orders to the payee’s address so that the received certificates can be cashed at local post offices.

The transfer amount and handling fees are withdrawn from the remitter’s integrated account or giro account and the transfer amount is deposited into the payee’s bank or postal giro account specified.
A fixed fee of ¥4,000 is charged for handing each remittance regardless of amount.
Please be aware that intermediary charges (such as for correspondent bank services) and account registration fee (for handling by the beneficiary bank) may be deducted from the amount of remittance. The amount of account registration fee varies by bank and account type. Check with your payee for details, if necessary.
