I would like to send money to the US from Japan? |
Travel Info What the best (fastest and cheapest) ways to go about doing this? I live in Minoshima, near Wakayama. I know of sending money orders through the post, but this is rather slow. I'm wondering, is there a Western Union-like service that I can use to send money back to the US in the Osaka/Wakayama area of Japan? Travel Tips I live in Tanabe in Wakayama and think the postal money order is about the fastest. That, or buy Traveler's Cheques, and send them in the mail either to creditors (visa companies and banks accept them, plus they are insured if they get lost, or they act like cash if you are sending them to friends who deposit it someplace for you.) The fee (1%) is relatively cheap compared to large bank-to-bank transfers. Haven't found a Western Union branch in this prefecture. Pay Pal seems like an option as someone said, but you have to go through a trustable third party with your credit card. Might as well use the credit card, which is probably not what you are wanting to do. Good luck. Source(s): 10 years living in Wakayama Prefecture Other Travel Tips The fastest is wire your money to my bank account, and i will have it when you arrive. If you have to send money to the US the best way is Pay Pal subject to condition that the person you are sending money has an account with the bank and you have a Credit Card. This is the fastest way and easiest. Otherwise try Western Union again subject to condition that your country is listed as collecting country on Western Union list. Lloyds bank will get you 1-2 business day turnaround. You make a domestic furikomi transfer from an ATM to your Lloyd's account and money appears in the predesignated overseas account. https://www.golloyds.com/en/index.php... You can send money to overseas bank accounts from the post office. The handling fee is 2,500 yen. http://www.yu-cho.japanpost.jp/e_s000000... You can also do a bank to bank transfer from any major banks, but this typically costs 6,000 yen or so. |
