Compare Exchange Rates & Fees - Save Time & Money

 

Sending money to Japan can be an expensive business, more so if you aren’t even aware of all the hidden fees. Money transfer companies and banks profit by charging you fees and a normally hidden margin on the exchange rate.

Using your Bank to make international wire transfers to India can be especially expensive – often 5% to 10% worse than using a foreign exchange specialist to send to Japan bank accounts or pay a Japanese yen invoice.
