Notice of Remittance Limits and Frequency Restrictions 

Smiles Mobile Remittance Notice

Notice of Remittance Limits and Frequency Restrictions 

Thank you for using our services. 

We would like to inform you about the remittance limits and frequency restrictions for our Type 2 funds transfer services. 

1. Remittance Limits and Frequency Restrictions 

In accordance with the law, the maximum remittance amount per transaction for a Type 2 funds transfer business is capped at 1 million yen or less. 

We have set the following limits for the total remittance amount and frequency over certain periods: 

For the first 90 days after account opening, a maximum cumulative remittance amount of 2 million yen is set. 

For the most recent 365 days, a maximum cumulative remittance amount of 5 million yen is set. 

For the most recent 30 days, a maximum of 25 transactions is allowed. 

A limit is also placed on the number of destination countries for remittances in the most recent 30 days. 

These limits and restrictions are standard criteria. However, based on our own screening standards—which consider factors like your individual attributes and transaction history—these limits may be different for each customer. Please note that these individual limits and restrictions are subject to change without prior notice. 

2. Application of the Risk-Based Approach 

We have adopted a risk-based approach to combat money laundering, terrorist financing, proliferation financing, and violations of economic sanctions. 

Based on changes in the business environment, legal amendments, and social conditions, we may review and change the remittance limits, frequency restrictions, and screening criteria without prior notice. 

3. Other Important Notes 

Some destination countries or regions may impose additional restrictions or require extra documents due to local laws or financial institution regulations. Please check with the recipient’s institution for details. 

To comply with the law and ensure the security of your transactions, we may ask for confirmation of your remittance details or request the submission of additional documents when necessary. 

The set limits and frequencies do not guarantee that your transactions will be executed. 

We cannot accept any remittance requests for a single transaction over 1 million yen. Additionally, in accordance with Article 17 of the Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Act, we cannot accept remittance requests to sanctioned individuals or organizations, or to any entity where such sanctioned individuals or organizations hold 50% or more ownership. 

We cannot accept remittance requests made on behalf of or by impersonating a third party. 

We cannot accept any remittance requests that contain false information, including the purpose of the transaction. 

Date of Change

We are committed to providing a safe and secure service. Thank you for your understanding. 

If you have any questions, please contact our customer support. Please understand that we cannot disclose the reasoning behind the specific remittance limits or frequency settings for individual customers.
