<prompt> Human: Hi personalfinance,This is a very simple question, but one Ive had a bit of trouble figuring out properly.So, my girlfriend and I are about to start renting a home in Ireland, however I need her to send me 75000 yen 550 euro for the deposit of the house as she wont be here for another month.I gave her my IBAN and BIC numbers and she told me she tried going to the bank to transfer the money, but when she went to the bank she came back very flustered saying there are too many things to do at the bank to transfer the money and it will cost at least 100 euro.Now, Im pretty new to personal finance havent even gotten an emergency fund saved up yet, but a 20 charge to transfer money seems absolutely insane to me. Does anyone know a simple way I can show her to transfer the money at a reasonable cost? I dont think she has online banking enabled on her Japanese account.  <response>: You should do a search in the rJapan and rJapanlife subreddits for transfer money. This topic comes up all the time and there are lots of accounts for how to get the money from Japan to overseas, and vice versa. I just did a search now and found a couple of posts regarding transfers to the UK, so it cant be that much different.If you dont find what youre looking for you should ask there.
