I’ve tried looking for a solution on Reddit, but I haven’t found anything so far.
I set up a Wise account with a JPY balance and my Japanese address. I will move back to the U.S. in a couple weeks, so I need to send my money home.
However, I am not seeing any way to furikomi my JPY to Wise. Others have said that Wise will provide their PayPay account details so that users can do the bank transfer at an ATM. Therefore, it will go into the Wise’s Japanese bank account and then into your Wise user account.
When I tried setting up a transfer into my JPY balance, Wise sent me details for SWIFT. That’s not PayPay… I thought I can only furikomi to another Japanese bank, so it would have to be Wise’s PayPay, right? Instead, I got a SWIFT number and Wise’s London address. It seems to think I want to transfer it from the U.S. instead of from Japan.
Has anyone transferred Yen to Wise lately? Can you tell me how it works?
