    I'm trying to pay for clothing from Japan so I made a wire transfer at my bank and everything went OK except the account name was wrong. The money was not sent back but is being held by the Japanese bank, so instead of re-doing the transfer my bank can just edit the info and send it their way.

    The initial problem was I thought they just needed the name of the store (the "beneficiary address" being the address of the physical shop) but it's supposed to be the name of the account and the address of the account-holder (I think). So the problem is they need the exact account name, but since the transactions between me and the guy are in different languages he has to use a translator which butchers the account name that he sent me.

    What should I do? Ask the guy to send me the exact name in Japanese and run it through multiple translators?

    The account name he sent me was: "Limited company (name of company I assume). Representative director It is (full name)." Anybody able to decipher it? The things in parentheses were edited by me to conceal information

    Can you tell me more about international payment, from other countries and credential required. I presume exact name is the registered name at your bank account
