How to find the cheapest today
Rates inside each app change daily and most are not published. Enter the same amount (for example ¥100,000) in two or three apps and compare how many rupees arrive — not just the fee.
How to read these numbers
- The official rate is a reference. Transfer services use their own rate, usually less favourable to you.
- A "zero fee" service can still cost more through a worse rate. Compare the NPR you receive, not the fee.
- Buy is the rate a bank in Nepal uses to buy your yen; sell is the rate it uses to sell yen. We convert at the buy rate.
- Rates move every day, and some services change them during the day.
- Check the final NPR amount in the app or counter before you pay.
- Never hand cash to unlicensed "hundi" agents. It is illegal in Japan and Nepal, and you have no protection if the money does not arrive.
Questions
- How much is 100,000 yen in Nepali rupees today?
- At the official Nepal Rastra Bank buy rate of 2026-11-10, 100,000 JPY = 94,900 NPR. What you receive from a transfer service will be lower or different, because each service uses its own rate and fee.
- Which is the cheapest way to send money from Japan to Nepal?
- It depends on the amount and the day. Fees and rates both matter, so compare the NPR the receiver gets in the table above for your amount, and confirm the final amount with the provider before you pay.
- Why is my bank's rate different from Nepal Rastra Bank's?
- Nepal Rastra Bank publishes a daily reference rate. Banks and transfer services set their own rates and add a margin, and they may update during the day. The difference is part of what the transfer costs you.
