International transfers for business in Japan — general overview
Overview of methods for making international transfers for a business in Japan (SWIFT, Wise, crypto, cash); details on each method are in separate records.
Sending and receiving international payments is a separate difficult topic for business in Japan: SWIFT is disabled by default on corporate accounts and requires a separate application; direct transfers to/from Russia barely work; alternatives include Wise, crypto exchanges, and cash-based schemes.
