Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How can I reduce the transfer fee?
A. Fees are low if you pay between the same banks or within the same branch, or if you use online banking, the fees will be less than half of what you would pay at a counter.
Q. Until what time can I make a transfer?
A. The counter is open until 3:00 pm on weekdays, and ATMs and online banking are open 24 hours a day, but after 3:00 pm, the results are often reflected on the next business day.
Q. Is the transfer not being made due to an input error in the transfer name?
A. Many banks will automatically reverse a wrong name, but you will need to re-enter the name. If the numbers are incorrect, there is a risk that the money will be credited to the other party.
Q. What should I be careful about when transferring large amounts?
A. For transactions over 1 million yen, confirmation of identification and purpose of transaction is required. The procedure at the counter is reliable.
Q. What if I want to cancel the transfer?
A. You can request a "refund" before the money is received. Once payment has been received, refunds cannot be made without the consent of the recipient.
