JP Post Bank Sending Money Limit

Hey guys.

Been in Japan for four months. Just got accepted to live in an apartment and put the money into my JP Post account to send over. I tried to send the initial payment for the apartment through the Yuucho app, but there is a limit of 5man….

Is this because I am 非居住者? Is this just an app thing? Am i fucked? Tried to go to the bank but they are already closed for the day…

Also follow up question, if I am indeed fucked and cannot use that money, can I make that payment through Wise? That’s what I’ve been using for everything else up until this point.

Thanks in advance.

  1. If I remember correctly, my partner had the same problem. Had to give his money in cash. I think it’s just the automatic limit, and you have to do paperwork to increase it.

  2. You can increase the limit by setting it in the app. I don’t remember the steps because…well it’s convoluted, but you can increase it.
