B-link Number The B-link number (beneficiary-linked number) is your account number with us. Each beneficiary account you register with us will be assigned a separate B-link number. When you make a furikomi, the B-link account into which you send your funds tells us to which overseas beneficiary you would like us to remit these funds to. Furikomi Transfer (pn. fu-ri-komi) A “furikomi” is a domestic transfer of funds from one account to another. In the case of the GoLloyds service, from your Japanese bank account to your GoLloyds B-link account. The furikomi system is run by Japanese banks and is available from virtually any bank branch ATM. It operates from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm weekdays. Once you have registered for the GoLloyds service making an overseas remittance is easy and convenient. Simply visit your bank’s ATM, make a furikomi to your desired B-link account and you are off. We will provide you with Furikomi details in your Welcome Pack. The Post Office ATM network is not connected to the bank ATM network and thus cannot be used for making furikomis. Telegraphic Transfer A Telegraphic Transfer (TT) is a method of payment that banks use to send money to each other on behalf of their customers. |
