Each line shows what the recipient gets when you send ¥39,000, after fees, as quoted by each company. The mid-market line shows what ¥39,000 converts to at the real exchange rate, with no fees or markup. Rates are checked once a day. Sponsored placements never affect this data. There are no bank quotes for this period.

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 KHR per JPY than the mid-market rate can offer.

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

In the past month, a money transfer company beat the mid-market rate on 16 of the last 30 days.

Right now, Wise pays 936,790.16 KHR on 39,000 JPY, which is 67,676.72 KHR less than the mid-market amount.

Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 1,014,390 KHR.

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.

Based on 118 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 Wise is the cheapest and gets you the most KHR, but it was the cheapest in only 7% of the 116 comparisons it appeared in over the past month.

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

Ways to send money from Japan to Cambodia

5 companies send money from Japan to Cambodia.

Everyday transfers

Online transfers

Online transfers to Cambodia are usually faster and cheaper than a traditional Japanese bank wire.

Depending on the service, you can deposit money via bank transfer, debit card, and credit card (Suica and other IC cards won’t work).

Wise is the cheapest option.

It charges ¥2,751 to send 39,000 JPY and your recipient gets 936,790.16 KHR (after a -0.34% markup). The KHR will arrive in within a week.

In our comparisons over the past month, it was the cheapest online service on 0 of the 30 days it quoted.

You will normally need your residence card to open an account.

Regular overseas spending

Multi-currency accounts

A multi-currency account lets you convert part of your yen and keep KHR for future payments.

Wise lets you hold JPY and KHR in one account and swap between them as you need.

Converting ¥39,000 gets you 936,790.16 KHR, after -0.34% markup and ¥2,751 fee.

This is convenient for receiving payments in JPY or KHR, or spending money when traveling to Cambodia.

Wise Business and Payoneer offer great business accounts in Japan.

Ways to fund JPY and receive KHR in Cambodia

With Wise, paying by bank transfer and receiving through a bank deposit is the cheapest combination. Sending ¥39,000 gives your recipient 936,790.16 KHR.

You can fund the yen side by bank transfer, debit card, and credit card.

Pay from a Japanese bank account

Transfer JPY using the account and reference provided by the money transfer company.

A domestic bank payment funds the transfer (usually very fast), but it does not determine how quickly KHR reaches the recipient.

For the payout, your recipient can use bank deposit in Cambodia.

Consider this when sending JPY to Cambodia

The weak yen makes the exchange-rate margin especially important. Foreign residents should also expect identity and purpose checks before the first overseas transfer.

Compare JPY/KHR transfer options

These are the leading options for a ¥39,000 transfer to Cambodia.

Fastest way to send money to Cambodia

The fastest option is PayPal App (P2P Transfer). Pay by bank transfer and choose bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 906,430.91 KHR in minutes.

Have your residence details ready

Japanese banks and registered funds-transfer companies can ask for a residence card, address, My Number and the purpose of an overseas payment.

The exact documents depend on the money transfer company and transfer purpose.

The first payment may take longer while the account is being checked.

Keep the invoice or document explaining the payment ready if you are sending tuition, property money or a large personal transfer.

The Financial Services Agency advises foreign residents to use a licensed bank or Funds Transfer Service Provider.

You can’t use Suica for deposits

PayPay, Suica, IC cards, and a domestic furikomi are useful inside Japan, but they do not send JPY to Cambodia.

A large gift can create Japanese gift tax

Japan's annual basic gift-tax exemption is ¥1.1 million per recipient under the calendar-year system.

The recipient may need to file and pay tax when total gifts received during the year exceed that amount.

Residence and asset-location rules can make cross-border cases more complicated, so do not assume that receiving the money in an overseas account avoids Japanese tax.

Non-bank remittance balances are protected under the Payment Services Act, but they are not ordinary bank deposits, so avoid leaving more money there beyond what you need to send.
