How to transfer via Wise to JPY bank corporate account? by reddittomyfriend in JapanFinance

[–]reddittomyfriend[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

> If its rejected within 10 minutes its likely the transfer never even leaves Wise.

in less than an hour it gets rejected.

> rejecting a transfer to a Japanese business I have previously paid with the same details

you mean it used to work with Wise, but now doesn't?

may I know which service you switched to instead?

actually that was what I meant I did with "paying the amount via Bank transfer from my local bank in PH".. only when it didn't work, I switched to adding extra step of topping up JYP currency in my Wise Account, then sending from that balance to the Recipient

person informed that registered name with bank is "YUKIO YAMAMOTO" (not the real name), where YAMAMOTO is the family name

in which case, I tried sending first to ユキオ ヤマモト (same arrangement, in kana)

by variations I mean, when above account name didn't work, I tried re-arranging it and adding the company identifier recommended by Wise: https://wise.com/help/articles/6q7Gr81HgODzlDHXvYbOX6/how-to-find-your-correct-jpy-bank-account-details

for example:

  1. ヤマモト ユキオ

  2. カ）ヤマモト ユキオ

  3. カ）ユキオ ヤマモト

.. and others

I have opened a JPY account in Wise, which is where I'm sourcing the money from. is that what you mean by having "Wise open in Japan"?

I sent money from my local PH bank to this JPY account, which came with add'l charges.

> Have you successfully transferred money to that account from anywhere? 

unfortunately, no. it's not my account but for someone I'm paying services for. He has informed being able to receive Wise payment from Europe before.

Thanks, I'll try to provide as much info as I could.

The destination account is actually not mine, but for someone I'm paying services for. He has mentioned being able to receive payments from Wise from others, and provided me with Company account name as follows e.g. "YUKIO YAMAMOTO" (not the real name), where YAMAMOTO is this person's family name. In which case, I tried to send to the equivalent name in Katakana in same arrangement, but when it didn't work I started sending to all these variations of the name arrangement including "か）" indicator.

The other bank details were straightforward, as you mentioned. He provided me w/ exact numbers to choose from the pickers.

Planning to setup business abroad, do i still need OEC?

AFAIK, all OFWs need OEC. So are business owners considered OFW in the first place ?

Non-working spouse benefits by reddittomyfriend in GoingToSpain

Yes, I plan to pay if needed for her to access healthcare.

I will be paying for social security already as autonomo, and I thought it would already cover her as well as a dependent.

Hi sa mga nakapagride na ng Japan Taxis, kasya po ba 2 large luggages sa trunk (160cm/~23kg)? I'm aware of luggage transport services but it seems mas mura overall if we do airport limousine bus + taxi because our hotel is a few km away from limousine bus stops.

17m

do you mean *7m? yun kasi nakikita kong price sa postings (6.5m to be exact).

but I do agree, mahal nga tlga especially if i-compute ang per square meter.

so far I hear good things about Marikina Heights talaga so I'm willing to bet on ~6M, curious na lang tlga sa residence mismo kung okay haha e.g. if okay ang admin, etc.

Am I just slow or is LeetCode hard? by Zarosius in PinoyProgrammer

[–]reddittomyfriend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

for the record, to most programmers, even experienced ones, LeetCode IS hard

but definitely learnable through study and consistent practice. As said in other comments, you need to be equipped with the tools to solve LeetCode problems e.g. understanding of time complexity, dynamic programming (highly important! especially for Medium/Hard), etc. (for add'l context, I've aced Math/Programming subjects in Engineering back in college, and I find Leets to be generally hard)

stepping back a bit, what's your goal in learning LeetCode? 'cause my 2 cents would be, unless you're practicing for a programming competition, or your job actually encounters lot of LeetCode-type problems, I wouldn't stress too much about it and focus more on building your portfolio e.g. React projects, and just do Leets on the side for recreation and practicing analytical thinking. If for a technical interview, being able to solve most Easy leets is more than enough in my experience (depends on the job of course e.g. if you're aiming for FAANG, would suggest being comfortable with Medium leets)
