How to send money from Sweden to Japan

Pick a company

For a one-off SEK transfer to Japan, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is Key Currency.

Key Currency was the cheapest on 25 of the 25 days it quoted kr80,000 transfers to Japan.

On a 80,000 SEK transfer, Key Currency delivers the most JPY.

The best option will change depending on how much you actually send, so I suggest to get the best SEK/JPY rate.

Fund your transfer

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

A transfer from your Swedish bank is usually the easiest way to fund the transfer.

Verify and send

Before you can send money to Japan, you'll need to verify your account.

Most companies do it with BankID.

If you can't get BankID yet, some companies will take a passport instead (but it's less common).

Compare amounts

How much SEK are you sending to Japan?

Exchange rateFeeRecipient getsDifference

Each line shows what the recipient gets when you send 80 000 kr, after fees, as quoted by each company. The mid-market line shows what 80 000 kr 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 JPY per SEK 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 Sweden.

Right now, Key Currency pays 1,265,005.24 JPY on 80,000 SEK, which is 3,170.44 JPY less than the mid-market amount.

Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 1,274,211.29 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 94 comparisons to check how often today's top companies were the cheapest across 5 amounts over the past month.

  1. Key CurrencyAppeared in 25 comparisons

    Cheapest every time

  2. Regency FXAppeared in 25 comparisons

    Never the cheapest

  3. TorFxAppeared in 38 comparisons

    Cheapest in 34% of them

Based on 94 comparisons across 5 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 Key Currency is the cheapest, but it only quotes some of the amounts we track, so it isn't included in these figures.

Ways to send money from Sweden to Japan

8 companies send money from Sweden to Japan, mostly through broker, online, app, global account, multi-currency account, and in person, and a few more ways.

Medium-sized transfers

Online transfers

For a one-off transfer to Japan, an online service like Wise is usually the simplest place to start.

Wise charges kr392.71 to send 80,000 SEK, leaving your recipient with 1,262,070 JPY after a -0.01% markup on SEK/JPY exchange rate.

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

Regular SEK transfers

Money transfer apps

For smaller regular transfers, apps are the most convenient and easiest way to send money to Japan.

Wise charges kr392.71 on a 80,000 SEK transfer and money will arrive in same day.

Over the past month, Wise was the cheapest app on 100% of the days it appeared for kr80,000 transfers.

Your recipient can withdraw via bank deposit and cash pickup.

In many cases you will need a BankID to verify your account, but a few will do with a passport or driver's licence.

Spending and travelling

Multi-currency accounts

A multi-currency account makes sense if you regularly need JPY.

You can convert your kronor in advance and use the balance when needed without extra fees.

Wise converts SEK 80,000 with a -0.01% exchange-rate markup and holds the JPY in your account.

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

Paying from business accounts

Global accounts

If your business receives and sends money in Japan, a global account keeps the JPY in one place.

You can pay invoices from the balance and convert when needed.

WorldFirst and Airwallex are good options to try.

Ways to fund SEK and receive JPY in Japan

With Key Currency, paying by bank transfer and receiving through bank deposit is the cheapest combination. Sending 80,000 SEK gives your recipient 1,265,005.24 JPY.

From Sweden, you can fund the transfer by bank transfer, debit card, and credit card, and in Japan, the recipient can use bank deposit and cash pickup.

Paying from your Swedish bank account

Send SEK using the account and reference shown by the money transfer company.

You may need to use BankID to approve and verify the payment.

For cash pickup, they can collect JPY from a nearby MoneyGram agent in Japan.

Swish is useful for payments within Sweden, but it does not send JPY to Japan.

Consider this before sending SEK to Japan

Swedish banks are safe but often expensive for foreign payments. Compare money transfer companies available to get the most JPY from Sweden.

Compare SEK to JPY transfer options

Cheapest way to send money to Japan

The cheapest option for an SEK 80,000 transfer is Key Currency. Pay by bank transfer and choose bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 1,265,005.24 JPY, which is 0.02% more than the next best option.

Fastest way to send money to Japan

With Revolut, a bank transfer deposit and bank deposit payout delivers 1,252,643 JPY in same day.

Swish only works in Sweden

Swish moves money between participating Swedish accounts, it cannot send SEK to Japan.

You may still use a Swedish bank transfer to pay for the transfer online, but beyond that, the company will move SEK to Japan over local rails or SWIFT.

Avoid delays

A bank can ask for the purpose and source of a large or unusual payment.

Property sales, inheritances and transfers between your own accounts are easier to clear when the documents match the description you gave the bank.

Tell your bank before a time-sensitive payment and keep the sale contract, estate document or account statement ready.

And do not split one large payment into many small ones, since it can trigger more questions.

Sweden does not charge gift tax

Sweden has no gift or inheritance tax, so sending a cash gift does not create a Swedish gift-tax return.

Japan may have their own rules on receiving monetary gifts.

How we analyse the market

We track 8 companies sending SEK to Japan, all registered with Finansinspektionen or passported in, with rates refreshed in real time on live searches.

This page covers the cheapest and fastest options for SEK/JPY transfers. This is how we pick them:

  • Cheapest: the company that gets your recipient the most, after fees and the exchange rate. On a tie, live pricing from the company takes priority over the rates we collect by hand.

  • Fastest: the company with the shortest estimated delivery time once you’ve paid. On a tie, the one that pays out more takes priority.
