Sure thing.
Thanks. Sorry for my messy mails.
Just for reference, for GoRemit ,
1) Send Furikomi (Internet or ATM)
2) Check recipient bank (Wait one business day)
No need to set up anything online first, or guess what what will 'waste their time' . To be fair, they said they have a lot of problems with Japanese Banks.
Anyway, I hope it ends well. Fingers crossed.
If you want to check the reviews you can see easily enough.

You do have to register the destination account in advance during the application process.
https://sp.shinseibank.com/english/gore ... sinfo.html
You can add a new beneficiary, or change existing details such as beneficiary account details or purpose of remittance for free at any time.
There is no limit to the number of beneficiaries you can register.
Simply download, print and complete the 'Add/Change beneficiary account details form' and return it to us by mail.

Sure Adamu,
For GoRemit
Set up destination first time only.
Then its only Furikomi each time...done.
No need to set up transaction on their website each time.
Thanks again ppl.!

So, you thought they would be shit, were happy with GoRemit, but used them anyway, complained about their process and then your money arrived without any apparent problems.
I’ve never used either of them, and probably never will. But this whole story, whilst faintly amusing, has not really helped my understanding of the issue.
Anyway, glad your cash finally arrived!

So, you thought they would be shit
- eh..No, I thought they would be great.
were happy with GoRemit
- see above
Complained about their process
- most definitely! Sorry about my long and rambling posts! Really!
then your money arrived without any apparent problems.
- no, my money got lost and the signing up, workflow and resolution process was a nightmare and very confusing, thus leading to me checking reviews and finding their poor scores. I was lucky...I could still be here right now and bitchin'....
unless thrown from forum, which to be honest, I wondered about...
..because, at times I felt like the devil, who had wandered into a worship room.. how dare I speak of Transferwise poorly. But anyway, my demaenour should have been better and I apologize, but I will not confuse that with any of the facts of the experience, and those reviews on line, have nothing to do with me.
Peace.

That's not entirely fair, but it made me laugh.
