With more Japanese students choosing the Netherlands as their study destination—drawn by its world-class universities, international programs, and vibrant student life—cross-border money transfers from Japan to the Netherlands have become a routine necessity.

From tuition payments to registration fees and academic project costs, transferring money from Japan to Dutch accounts is an unavoidable part of the overseas study journey. And with ongoing JPY to EUR exchange rate fluctuations, it’s more important than ever to choose a transfer solution that is cost-effective, transparent, and trackable.

Currency Volatility Calls for Smarter Tools

In 2025, the Japanese yen has shown volatility against the euro, influenced by economic shifts and central bank policies in both regions. For families sending money abroad, even a small swing in the exchange rate can result in significant additional costs.

The key question is: How can you find the best timing and the best tool for your personal remittance to the Netherlands?
