I was just very happy that I managed to navigate the online interface for the Japan Post bank app, just as I was about to send my rent, I see that I need to pay a 3000 yen fee, but I don’t understand why. This is the text on the screen:
>お申し込みの送金は、外為法上の非居住者に関連する送金に該当するため、国際送金として取り扱います。そのため、1回の送金につき3,000円の料金がかかります。
また、送金目的等の確認のため、別途ご連絡する場合があります。詳しくは [こちら](https://www.jp-bank.japanpost.jp/kojin/sokin/gaitame/kj_sk_gt_index.html)
Please note that a payment fee of ¥3,000 will be charged, as confirmation in line with Foreign Exchange Law is required for your payment.
Please also note that we may contact you later.
Does anyone have any experience with this? I thought there would be a 150 yen fee because I’m transferring from JP Postbank to another bank, but definitly not a 3000 yen fee…
EDIT: Thanks for the assistance everyone, I was able to pay using cash at the ATM inside an SMBC bank!
