Upgraded Remittance Card in Japan

Managing your finances while working in Japan is never an easy task especially if you are not fluent in speaking Japanese. However, as the number of foreigners are rapidly increasing in Japan, several companies are now offering English assistance during registration and online remittances.

One of the most prominent remittance companies in the country- Japan Remit Finance or widely known as JRF, offers their newest card that can aid foreigners for both domestic and international remittance. 

THE JRF eCO CARD

7 Perks of JRF ECO CARD

• International Remittance

JRF ECO card is equipped with services for cash payment, e-wallet and bank transfers from Japan to other countries. This service offers great convenience to foreigners with hassle free procedures that can be done using the JRF mobile wallet app.  In just a few minutes, remittance to other countries can be claimed to local currencies ( time of credit will vary depending on the payment method). 

• Domestic Remittance

Foreigners with no registered Japanese bank account can use JRF`s ECO CARD to pay bills via bank transfer to domestic banks in Japan. JRF mobile app has the same feature with common online banking where you can keep money, save it and proceed to remittances to local banks in Japan. 

• ATM Inquiry and Withdrawal 

Most remittance cards only feature remittance services by depositing cash in ATMs in Japan. However, JRF innovated an upgraded remittance  card with ATM inquiry and withdrawal service for a seamless and comprehensive processing. Just like any ATM cash card, JRF ECO CARD users can do balance inquiry and withdraw cash to ATM machines nationwide.

• JP and LAWSON ATMs Nationwide

For more than a decade, JRF has been in collaboration with  Yuucho/JP ATM with 30,000+ branches to deliver efficient remittance services to our JRF card users. In 2023, JRF expanded their partnership with Lawson starting March 24 this year to further provide users access to JRF cards anywhere in Japan. 

With this, clients can now use their JRF cards to both JP ATMs and Lawson ATMs nationwide.
