For these past several days, I had been struggling to send the tuition to Homeopathy school in Japan. They ask me to send money to their Japanese bank account. If I use a normal US bank to send money to a Japanese bank account, the fee is pretty high of around $70. The fee gets expensive because I have to pay even their recipient fee on Japanese side. I wish they could just let the abroad students to pay online through a credit card. I asked the school about it, but they replied to me that they cannot accept the credit card payment. Then one memory came back to me. Around 10 years ago, this school was attacked by the major newspaper company and created many bad reviews and complains. Even the major credit company announced all their customers that they windrowed any business with this school/company. I don’t know if this credit company still keeps their new policy or not. I guess this school went through a huge traumatic experience from the credit company and maybe that is why they still don’t want to have any businesses with credit card companies.
I found one company called Wise to transfer fund internationally with the reasonable fee. Compared with the normal fee of $70, this company charged only $15. That being said, I had a tough time to proceed the process. Their system has some types of system errors that they don’t allow customers to proceed in transferring money if they use the recipient that is already saved in the system. I needed to log in their online chat, waited for 20-30 minutes for the representative to show up. After the first representative could not solve the issue, I was transferred to other representative where I needed to explain my issue from the beginning. You know how stressful these processes are. Anyhow, I finally could talk to the right representative and he helped me to solve the issue. It took three days for the Japanese school to confirm the fund in their bank account. I am glad that I finally finished paying the tuition. My new course: Family Homeopath course will start from this June and continue for one year. I am excited about this new learning.
