Crypto wallet and Visa card in Japan

Japan has its own currency, the yen; the country is known for cash remaining in use noticeably more than in many other developed economies.

How it works in Japan

Nexus Pay is a crypto wallet with a Visa card. You fund the account in crypto, move what you need to the card, and spend it anywhere Visa is accepted — no Japanese bank account needed.

In Japan payments settle in Japanese yen: the country maintains its own currency, and the network converts from USDT at the rate at the time of the transaction — ATMs work the same way, useful where cash is still common.

What actually reaches your pocket

Our published fees, with no hidden markup on the rate. From 1,000 USDT:

  • Swapping inside the wallet — 0%. Exchange rate, no markup.
  • $1,000.00 lands on the card — the card top-up is free; card purchases cost 1.5%.
  • $984.00 in cash at an ATM, after our fee of 1.5% + 1 USDT per withdrawal.

The ATM operator in Japan may add its own fee on top of ours. That money does not come to us, it differs by machine, and it cannot be stated in advance.

How to fund the account

In crypto across six networks: USDT and USDC on TRC-20, ERC-20, BEP-20 and TON; BTC and ETH on their own chains. The address is issued for the network you pick.

Blockchain transfers are irreversible. Sending on the wrong network means the funds are gone for good — check both the address and the network.

What you need to start

  • A Telegram or Google account — sign-in goes through them, there is no separate password.
  • Crypto to fund the account — any supported coin.
  • For a card, identity verification: anti-money-laundering law requires it.
