Every way we pay out to Japan

Each network runs on its own schedule. Which one a payout uses depends on the bank details your recipient has.

Days are business days — a Saturday delays a same-day or next-day payout. These are ceilings, not typical times: within the window, how fast the money lands depends on the receiving bank.

We also pay out to Japan in USD over SWIFT (1% + $35.00 on a personal account, 0.5% + $35.00 on business).

You can also open a Maash account from Japan — see every country you can open one from.

Sending USD to Japan — FAQ

Speed

How long does it take to send USD to Japan?

Payments between Maash accounts land in seconds, and bank payouts arrive the same business day over Zengin. Occasionally a banking partner pauses a transfer for a short compliance check. Maash tells you when that happens.

Rate

How has the USD to JPY rate moved over this period?

Between 31 Jul 2026 – 20 Aug 2026 the mid-market rate rose 0.74%, with a low of 157.2353 and a high of 159.5076 JPY per US dollar. The rate is captured daily and shown at the mid-market rate with no markup.

Cost

How much does it cost to send money to Japan?

A payout to Japan in Japanese yen (JPY) costs 1% plus a $1.00 fixed fee on a personal or business account. Currency conversion uses the mid-market rate with no markup, and every fee is shown before you confirm.

Sending USD

Can I send US dollars to a bank account in Japan?

Yes, over SWIFT. The fee is 1% + $35.00 on a personal account, 0.5% + $35.00 on business — a payout in Japanese yen (JPY) costs 1% plus a $1.00 fixed fee instead, so a recipient with an account in Japanese yen usually pays less. Your recipient’s account must accept US dollars.

Safety

Is my money safe while the transfer is processing?

Yes. Your funds sit in your own account and only move when you confirm a transfer with your passkey. Maash can’t spend, move, or freeze your balance. Occasionally a banking partner pauses a transfer for a short compliance check. A review delays a transfer — it never takes your money.

Banks

Which banks in Japan can I send money to?

Maash pays out to 104 banks in Japan. Your recipient needs an account in their own name; enter their bank details when you add them. The list is the one Maash’s payout provider states and can change.

Account

Can I open a Maash account in Japan?

Yes. Japan is one of the countries Maash can open an account from, so you can both hold US dollars and send to Japan. Identity verification applies, and some countries need additional checks; Maash lists every country it can open an account from on its supported-countries page.
