Japan, welcome to TransferWise
We’re excited to announce that you can now send money to and from Japan with TransferWise.
At our first official press conference in Tokyo, TransferWise CEO Taavet said:
'We're excited to launch in Japan. Transferring money in and out of Japan is slow and expensive. We're changing that. With TransferWise transferring money is faster, cheaper and easier.
We have a local team on the ground in Tokyo - we believe it's very important to be close to our customers.'
