Wise Transfers from Overseas to Japan?

If anyone out there uses Wise or a similar service, any hints?

My bank overseas only allows $2500/day in international transfers, then slaps on a fee, which I supposed my Japanese bank would match with a receiving fee. They also off $2000/day e-transfers, but not to international banks. I could probably send that money to Wise, then have it sent to my Japanese bank.

Does Wise work with all Japanese banks? I use JP Bank, Mizuho, and MUFG.

Thanks.

  1. Using Sony, my friend sends money direct to my account through Wise. He pays the fees. I don’t pay anything.

  2. Wise is fantastic. Will work with any Japanese bank, because technically you’re just making a *domestic* transfer to Wise’s Japan bank account.
