Domestic transfers

To make fund transfers to Citibank domestic branches and other city banks, visit a branch service counter, or use Citibank Online* or CitiPhone Banking.

Domestic transfers in principle must be made during hours excluding 14:30 to 18:30 (Japan Standard Time) on business days. Note that the service hours are subject to change without prior notice. Also note that the service is not available for a few minutes in the early mornings.

Fund transfers via Citibank Online are available not only to registered payees, but also to unregistered payees if you register for the One Time Password Service. However, once you complete setting up the OTP Service, while transferring funds to a unregistered payee, you may first check the "Add to my Payee List" check box to register the payee account . Then the payee account will be recognized as a registered account for future transactions.

Overseas Remittances

*	Customers are required to register the payee's account in advance for overseas remittances made via Citibank Online or CitiPhone Banking.
*	We may ask for further information on overseas remittance transactions subsequently, such as the beneficiary, purpose of remittance and so forth in order to comply with the Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Control Law.
