Hi there! I’ve been browsing through some of the other posts on this topic but can’t quite find what I’m looking for…
I’m trying to transfer money from an overseas account to a SMBC account (or I guess Prestia would be the right name) and I just received a notification from JP Morgan stating that the transaction couldn’t be completed. They returned my money (minus a fee obviously) and that was that.
Has anyone had this happen before? Browsing through some older posts it seems people have been doing this with no issues, so am I doing something wrong?
Appreciate any help I can get, thank you!

You might have to check with Prestia if your account allows for international money transfers. IIRC when I opened my account with them, they actually made two accounts for me — one in yen and an “international” one that they said allowed international money transfers. I don’t know if the yen account doesn’t allow international transfers.
