Can I trust Fukupochi (formerly Curfex Japan) ?
Of course, you can!
We are fully licensed and regulated by the Kanto Local
Finance Bureau as a Fund Transfer Operator (FTO), License
Number 00059. To ensure your security, we exclusively work
with licensed financial institutions and other licensed
FTOs to protect your interests.
Fukupochi is a brand operated by Fukugu, Inc. (formerly
Curfex Japan, Inc.) and has been helping thousands of
customers send money overseas safely, affordably, and
conveniently since 2015. Our 100% track record is a
testament to our commitment to reliability and customer
trust.
Is there a difference between remittance transactions carried out by Funds Transfer Operator (FTO) and the banks in Japan?
While the services are similar, there are some important
differences. Services provided by the FTO:
1) Are subject to a maximum transfer limit of JPY
1,000,000 per transaction;
2) Do not involve the acceptance of deposits, savings, or
fixed-term deposits;
3) Are protected under the security deposit system
established by the Payment Services Act, rather than the
deposit insurance scheme prescribed under the Deposit
Insurance Act.
Is Fukupochi (formerly Curfex Japan) 's online platform safe?
Absolutely! We use advanced data security encryption to
ensure all information sent between your web browser and
our website remains private and secure.
The servers we use to store your information are protected
both physically and electronically and go through
extensive random security checks for any suspicious
activity. The servers reside behind a firewall and are not
directly connected to the Internet.
We regularly audit our security policies to ensure the
protection of your personal data. All Fukupochi employees
pass financial and criminal background checks as a
condition of employment.
Why do you need to verify my identity?
Fukupochi is required by law to verify the identity of all our users.
