How to order yen from Chase: step by step
Here's what you should do to get started on the currency exchange process:
- Find your nearest Chase branch
- Call the branch to confirm that they offer foreign currency exchange
- Ask about any fees or service charges
- Check what the current exchange rate for the Japanese yen is
- Find out what type of ID you need to bring
- Schedule an appointment (if required)
- Go to the local branch to place your order (or pick up your yen, if immediately available)
Typically, when you place an order for foreign currency, the bank orders it for you. Once your currency arrives, you'll pick it up at your local branch.
Sometimes, the currency may be available immediately.
What’s Chase's exchange rate?
Chase makes money on the foreign currency exchange rate.²
The currency exchange rate determines how much Japanese yen you get for your US dollars.
For example, let's say the current mid-market exchange rate is 1 USD = 145 JPY. Chase might offer you an exchange rate of 1 USD = 140 JPY.
This means if you exchange 100 USD, you receive 14,000 JPY instead of 14,500 JPY - what you would get at the mid-market rate.
Exchange rates fluctuate constantly throughout the day, so contact your branch to get the current Chase yen exchange rate.
