Everyday transfers
Online transfers
Online transfers to Australia are usually faster and cheaper than a traditional Japanese bank wire.
Depending on the service, you can deposit money via bank deposit (Suica and other IC cards won’t work).
Revolut is the cheapest option.
It charges ¥3500 to send 1,000,000 JPY and your recipient gets 8,841.63 AUD (after a ¥3500 fee and a -0.11% markup). The AUD will arrive in within a week.
You will normally need your residence card to open an account.
