Interestingly (for UK people with a bank account at the Alliance & Leicester/Santander), it looks like you can transfer money from a Japan Post Bank account to the UK via the Eurogiro network.

Has anyone had any experience of transferring money this way?


In theory, but make sure they're not just using 'giro' in the generic sense and they really do mean the International Postal Union Giro System. These days Giro is simply SWIFT under another name. Good luck getting the Japanese end to know how to do it, although at one point many (many!) moons ago you used to be able to do it from the ATM machines. I'm not even sure the JPU is still a member of the Giro/Swift system - checking online just now, they don't appear to be.


Actually, Santander have told me that, despite what the website says, they no longer carry out Eurogiro transfers - quote from them:

"I can confirm that the Eurogiro network was applicable to Alliance & Leicester, however Santander are not a part of this network and therefore the service no longer applies to international payments."
