How Does the GoLloyds Service Work?

STEP 1

Register Free Online...
To become a GoLloyds customer all you have to do is fill in our brief online application form.
Having completed the application form a PDF document will be created. Print this off, sign and send it in with clear copies of two of the following identification documents. A photocopy of your Passport (Photo page), together with a photocopy of one of the following, showing your current residential address, as written on your application form.
  • Japanese Drivers Licence
  • Alien Registration Card
  • Inhabitant Certificate (issued within the last 3 months)
  • Health Insurance Certificate

STEP 2

Receive Your Welcome Pack...
Once we have received your completed application form we will send you a GoLloyds welcome pack. This will include your B-link number and other useful information that will allow you to begin remitting overseas.

STEP 3

Make an ATM Transfer...
Once registered as a GoLloyds customer, simply go to your local bank ATM and make a furikomi transfer from your Japanese domestic bank account to your GoLloyds account.

Alternatively if you are in the Tokyo area you can visit our branch and make a transfer in cash.

STEP 4

GoLloyds Does the Rest
Upon receipt of your Yen funds, GoLloyds applies a flat-rate ¥2,000* service fee, converts the funds into the specified currency at that day’s exchange rate and then sends them to your pre-registered beneficiary via telegraphic transfer. Your beneficiary should receive the funds in one to two business days.

GoLloyds will send you an advice of transfer to inform you of the amount sent, the exchange rate applied, and the beneficiary account details. This should be retained for your records.
*As with any international remittance, intermediary banks will deduct a fee. A list of these charges can be viewed here. In addition, beneficiary banks in some countries may also levy a charge.
Service fee for cash over the counter remittances is 4,000JPY.
