The team here at ZenMarket is always working hard to improve our service and make buying goods from Japan easy.
Today, we are pleased to announce that customers can now add funds to their ZenMarket accounts through domestic bank transfers for a select few countries!
Why Is A Domestic Transfer Option Awesome?
Regardless of what international shopping services you use, you will eventually run into international transfer fees.
International transfer fees are generally charged by your banking provider or internet payment services you use to send money overseas when buying goods internationally.
With the option to add funds to your ZenMarket account domestically, you can avoid paying these fees altogether!
In fact, if your banking provider allows you to make domestic bank transfers for free, adding money to your Japanese ZenMarket account won't cost you anything - making buying goods from Japan even cheaper!
Available Countries
- The United States of America*
- European countries using Euro as a currency
- Great Britain
- Australia
- Singapore
- Hungary
- New Zealand
- Turkey
*Users using the domestic transfer option to make a USD payment may be subjected to an additional tariff fee. However, any additional processing fee will still result in savings compared to a standard international bank transfer.
For now, only the above countries will have the domestic transfer option available through their ZenMarket account.
Don't worry if your country isn't on the list. We will look to add more payment options in the future.
However, currently, we are unable to provide a timeline for when additional countries may be added, but you can be sure we will let you know when we do!
How Does It Work?
Simply head over to your ZenMarket account and hit the "Add Funds" button.
Check to make sure your billing county is selected appropriately.
To use the domestic bank transfer option, make sure the "Your billing country is (Country)" status is the country where you correctly reside and one of the countries mentioned above.
If not, you can click on the "change" button next to the status if it is showing an incorrect country.
You should be ready to go once you have the correct billing country!
In the payment methods section, you will see an option called "Domestic Bank Transfer."
Once selected, you will be provided with all the information needed to add funds to your account through a domestic transfer using your banking provider of choice.
Please double check that you enter all the information correctly when making your transfer, especially your "IBAN" number - this is essential for allowing our system to identify who and what account money is being sent to.
We ask that you don't share this information unnecessarily and keep your account numbers private for security reasons.
Make sure you add funds using your local currency when using this method! Don't use Japanese Yen.
That's it!
You can now start adding funds to your ZenMarket account domestically and save money on your shopping from Japan!
We hope this additional option helps you save some money, and the team here will continue to make further improvements to make your lives easier.
