How money moves in Japan
Currency
Transfers into Japan land in Japanese yen (JPY), so the exchange rate you lock in and the fees quoted up front are what decide how much actually arrives.
How transfers settle
Domestic furikomi transfers run over the Zengin system; many banks process same-day with cut-off windows. Instant transfers between some banks are available via more-kin services. That matters for a transfer sent from Osaka: a provider that delivers onto the local rail typically clears faster than a routed correspondent-bank wire.
Recipient details
A Japanese domestic transfer needs the recipient's bank name, branch name, account type (futsu/toza), 7-digit account number, and account-holder name in kana. Getting these recipient details exactly right is the difference between a same-day delivery and a bounced-back transfer.
Regulation
Payments in Japan are overseen by the Financial Services Agency of Japan (JFSA). Japan's Payment Services Act governs fund transfer providers and e-money issuers. Confirm the provider's registered category and permitted services before applying.
