How to send money from Germany to Japan

Pick a company

For a one-off transfer from Germany, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is Xe.

Xe was the cheapest on 6 of the 28 days it quoted €7.000 transfers to Japan.

On a 7.000 EUR transfer, Xe delivers the most JPY.

This will change depending on how much you actually send, so I suggest running a live search to get the best EUR/JPY rate.

Fund your transfer

You have 4 ways to pay, including bank transfer, debit card, credit card, and iDEAL.

Verify and send

First time round you'll need a photo ID and proof of your German address.

Video identification is also normal and takes a few minutes.

Compare amounts

Exchange rateFeeRecipient getsDifference

Each line shows what the recipient gets when you send €7,000, after fees, as quoted by each company. The mid-market line shows what €7,000 converts to at the real exchange rate, with no fees or markup. Rates are checked once a day. Sponsored placements never affect this data. The bank line is the cheapest bank available on each day.

The dashed line is what you'd get at the mid-market rate with no fees, and the blue line is the cheapest option that day.

When the blue line goes above the dashed one, you're getting more JPY per EUR than the mid-market rate can offer.

This could be due to money transfer offers, FX rate adjustments, or market competitiveness.

No company, app or bank beat the mid-market rate over the past month, meaning you lose a bit of JPY on every transfer from Germany.

Right now, Xe pays 1.239.736,40 JPY on 7.000 EUR, which is 1.984,92 JPY less than the mid-market amount.

Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 1.243.330,90 JPY.

If you can wait and want to get the most out of your transfer, create a rate alert and we'll let you know when the rate improves.

Cheapest over time

Picking the cheapest money transfer company

Just because a company is the cheapest today doesn't mean it's always the best option for sending money to Japan.

We've tracked 116 comparisons to check how often today's top companies were the cheapest across 4 amounts over the past month.

  1. XeAppeared in 106 comparisons

    Cheapest in 16% of them

  2. Key CurrencyAppeared in 55 comparisons

    Cheapest in 76% of them

  3. Regency FXAppeared in 55 comparisons

    Never the cheapest

  4. Deutsche BankAppeared in 113 comparisons

    Cheapest in 2% of them

Based on 116 comparisons across 4 amounts over the last 30 days.

Different companies can come out cheapest depending on the day and the amount you send.

To keep things fair, we only count the comparisons each company appeared in, and only analyse companies that appeared in at least 50% of all comparisons (so occasional cheapest options don't skew it).

Today Xe is the cheapest and gets you the most JPY, but it was the cheapest in only 16% of the 106 comparisons it appeared in over the past month.

If it's a one-off transfer, go with Xe, since it's the cheapest right now.

Ways to send money from Germany to Japan

There are 11 companies for sending money from Germany to Japan, across currency broker, online, app, multi-currency account, global business account, in person, and bank, and more below.

Fastest and easiest way

Online and app transfers

Within the eurozone, SEPA covers all transfers, but outside, it gets very expensive and money transfer companies make it cheaper.

Sending €7.000 with Xe to Japan gets you 1.239.736,40 JPY with a €0 fee and 0,16% markup.

In our comparisons over the past month, it was the cheapest online service on 7 of the 28 days it quoted.

Debit cards (and Apple Pay / Google Pay) usually have instant deposits, but your girocard usually won't work as a funding method.

For paying in cash at a counter

In-person transfers

There's no legal limit on how much you can send, so the counter in the kiosk, the callshop or the grocery store is still a popular way to send money internationally.

Deposit €7.000 to MoneyGram online, and choose cash pickup as delivery option. Once you pay, it should be available in minutes.

Our data shows MoneyGram came out cheapest among in-person options on 100% of days in the past month.

In general, online transfers are cheaper than sending cash to Japan.

For Euro transfers only

Banks

Inside the eurozone, banks use a SEPA transfer which is cheap or free and there's little reason to look further.

Outside the eurozone, banks like Deutsche Bank are much more expensive.

On a €7.000 transfer, Deutsche Bank delivers 1.224.839 JPY vs 1.239.736,40 JPY with Xe.

We found Deutsche Bank was the cheapest bank on 30 of the 30 days it appeared for this amount.

For large transfers from Germany

Currency brokers

For buying property, moving to Japan, or moving pensions, a currency broker is the best option.

A broker like Xe charges no fee and works on a margin. It adds 0,16% on EUR/JPY which gets negotiated the more you send.

And you get an account manager to help you through the process.

Our analysis shows Xe was the cheapest broker in 22% of the transfers from €7,000 it quoted.

For some international payments above €50,000, German residents may need to file an AWV report with the Bundesbank, make sure to check in advance.

For making business payments

Global accounts

Global accounts are for businesses making payments to Japan.

Be it overseas suppliers and contractors, receiving JPY payments, or holding JPY and EUR in one business account.

Companies like Airwallex, WorldFirst, or Wise Business offer the best tools for international business transfers.

For spending & receiving

Multi-currency accounts

A multi-currency account lets you hold EUR and JPY in one account.

You get JPY bank details, and can receive international payments like rent, dividends, family payments without additional conversions.

You can convert JPY to EUR or EUR to JPY whenever you need.

The best multi-currency account is Currencies Direct, it adds ~0,5% markup and charges small fees.

Over the past month, it came out cheapest among multi-currency accounts on 100% of days.

Ways to fund EUR and receive JPY in Japan

With Xe, paying by debit card and receiving through bank deposit is the cheapest way. Sending €7.000 gives your recipient 1.239.736,40 JPY.

Our data shows that Xe gets your recipient 14.897,40 JPY more than Deutsche Bank, today's cheapest bank, on the same €7.000.

You can pay for the transfer using bank transfer, debit card, credit card, and iDEAL.

Using German bank

A SEPA bank transfer is usually the cheapest way to deposit EUR.

An instant SEPA payment can reduce funding time, but it does not guarantee instant delivery to Japan.

The recipient in Japan can receive JPY by bank deposit and cash pickup.

To receive JPY by bank deposit

Enter the recipient's banking details and account holder's name.

Check both before sending because correcting a bank deposit will delay the transfer.

They can receive cash in Japan

For cash pickup, the recipient needs to visit the nearest MoneyGram branch and bring a valid photo ID and the transfer reference number.

Things to know before sending money from Germany to Japan

The main question in Germany is whether you are sending euros inside SEPA or converting them. Large cross-border payments can also create a Bundesbank reporting duty.

Compare EUR/JPY transfer options

For a €7.000 transfer to Japan, these are the best options:

Cheapest way to send money to Japan

The cheapest option is Xe, funded by debit card with bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 1.239.736,40 JPY, which is 0,09% more than the next best option.

Fastest way to send money to Japan

The fastest option is Revolut. Pay by bank transfer and choose bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 1.232.667 JPY in same day.

Transfers over €50,000 may get reported

Germany's AWV reporting threshold is €50,000.

A German resident may need to report a payment above that amount to the Bundesbank when it is made to a non-resident.

It is a statistics report, not a tax or permission request.

Transfers between your own domestic and foreign accounts are exempt, and other exemptions apply depending on the payment purpose.

The automated AWV notice shown by a bank does not mean every transfer is reportable.

The Bundesbank guidance for private individuals explains who reports, what is exempt and how to file.

SEPA and SWIFT are different

If the recipient has a euro account in the SEPA area, a normal SEPA payment can be the simplest option.

A payment converted into JPY sits outside that pricing rule and may involve another bank or payout partner.

Check whether the quote uses SHA, OUR or BEN charges on a bank transfer.

This decides whether intermediary costs are shared, paid by you or deducted from what the recipient receives.
