Nyororin and everybody else, what is your experience with banking in Japan for a foreigner? |
Setting it up involved a sheet with Japanese/English phrases on it, and a lot of the teller running back to speak with her English speaking manager. Mind you this was when I first arrived in Osaka and spoke 3 words of Japanese.
After that, the only time I needed to go back to the bank was to set up wire transfers. And they had an employee with VERY good English for that.
Most of my banking was automated.
