Send Money to Japan

Canadian companies and individuals can now get better rates than the banks when sending money to their Japanese counterparts.

Whether you’re a company or an individual, there are many reasons why you may need to send Japanese Yen money transfers from Canada to Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Takayama, or any other place in Japan. 

You may want to purchase overseas property, pay for Japanese tuition fees, send money to friends or family in Japan, secure your business interests, or something in between. Whatever the reason, you need to watch out for those currency conversion costs each time your money travels to Japan.

While there’s not much you can do to prevent currency exchange rate fluctuations, you can still get great value when transferring money to a Japanese bank account.

Why the JPY/CAD exchange rate matters

The JPY/CAD is an essential factor to consider when sending money to Japan. If the exchange rate isn’t optimal, you’ll get less for your Canadian dollars. For instance, if the exchange rate is lower by 3 cents, you forfeit 1-3% when you pay a supplier invoices or vendor payments

Suppose you choose a provider with an exchange rate that’s 5 cents lower, your losses balloon to 5%. That’s a small fortune that deserves to remain in your pocket. So, if you have been putting up with high exchange rates, it’s time to go into money-saving mode with MTFX.
