    Default Japanese bank vocabulary

    Greetings,

    I need to know some bank related Japanese words, such as "money order" and "wire transfer"


    Many domos,
    Joe

    Why don't you just buy yourself either one of the JTB Say It in Japanese series of books, or a good dictionary,

    The former would help you better adjust to living in Japan, in which you obviously have lots of questions, while the latter would be a good investment, and even if you cannot pronounce the words, you can still point them out. You'll be asking next for words to use at the station, in the airport, etc..

    But for a start...

    wire transfer - furikomi - 振り込む

    A money order:

    Kawase

    Kokusai Kawase is an international one.

    transfer is usually "furikomi"

    If this is international, I suppose you would say "kokusai furikomi"?

    has proved useful on occasions when I need them to do something involving living in the late 20th or early 21st centuries.


    But you'll find all that out soon enough.

    That's familiar...Where did I hear that before? Oh! I know I said those very same words last week when they told me the PayPal transfer would take 10 days to complete.

    You should have heard what I said when I saw the bank charge for said wire transfer.

    I would have loved to Youtube that one!

    I used to think they were filming Candid Camera episodes; I waited 20 fuggin years for Alan Funt to come out from behind the machine and tell me it was all an elaborate joke.

    ATM's with hours????????????????

    If it weren't so tragic, it'd be comical.
