Tips for buying Japanese Yen on holiday
Don't exchange at airports or at home
No need to overspend on exchanging cash before you travel. Use your Revolut card to spend or withdraw money from an ATM while you're abroad.
Choose the local currency
ATMs and card readers may ask you whether you want to pay in your home currency. While this may sound convenient, always choose to pay in the local currency. This'll help you avoid dynamic currency conversion (DCC) fees.
Find surcharge-free ATMs
Heads up — some ATMs charge their own access fees. Our go-to tip? Use our ATM locator in-app to find surcharge-free ATMs near you and save a bit more on your next withdrawal.
For life, not just for holidays
So much more than a travel money card
Whether you're travelling the world or paying at your local cafe, this is a multi-currency debit card you'll want to use again and again. Join 50+ million global customers and plan your next adventure with your Revolut card.

Buying Japanese Yen online FAQs
- A travel money card, also called a foreign currency card, lets you keep and spend in multiple currencies when you travel. Our multi-currency debit card offers the same benefits as a travel money card, plus much more. You can use it to spend in 150+ currencies globally with competitive exchange rates, and it's also a convenient way to manage your everyday spending back home. Explore all the perks of using our travel money card.
- With a Revolut travel money card, there's no need to buy Japanese Yen in advance. Just add money to your account in your home currency, and we'll automatically convert it to Japanese Yen for you when you pay or withdraw cash abroad, at our competitive exchange rates and fees. This means you're basically buying Japanese Yen on the go, whenever you need. Here are some of the ways you can buy Japanese Yen while you're abroad:
- Pay in Japanese Yen with your Revolut card in shops, wherever Visa and Mastercard are accepted.
- Link your card to Apple Pay or Google Pay, and make contactless payments with just your phone.
- Create virtual cards for online purchases, or pay contactless in shops by linking them to your digital wallet.
- Use your physical card to withdraw cash in Japanese Yen at ATMs abroad.
- When you pay with your Revolut travel money card, there's no need to exchange Japanese Yen back to your local currency because you don't need to pre-purchase Japanese Yen before your trip. When you pre-purchase Japanese Yen from other providers, you might have extra cash left over after your trip, which you'll have to convert back to your home currency. Exchanging twice often means you'll end up paying more fees. To make things simple for you, we automatically convert your balance to the currency you choose to pay in while you're abroad. That means you're essentially buying Japanese Yen as you go, so you'll never have leftover cash to reconvert. Curious about how this works? Check out our Help Centre to find out more about card payments abroad.
- While cash can come in handy at times, a travel money card offers tonnes of benefits. Let's look at a few.
- Your money's safer on a card. If you're carrying a lot of cash, it can get lost or stolen, and you might not get it back. On the other hand, you can freeze your Revolut travel money card if it goes missing and quickly get a replacement.
- It's accepted in many locations worldwide. A travel money card works just like a debit or credit card, so you can make payments and withdraw cash just like you would with a typical bank card. You can use your Revolut card wherever Visa and Mastercard are accepted.
- You can make fee-free ATM withdrawals. Some banks may charge fees when you use your card at ATMs abroad, but with Revolut, you can withdraw up to £2,000 per rolling month with no fees from us, depending on your plan. Just watch out for third-party ATM fees.
- You can get better exchange rates. Some banks may have poor exchange rates with markups, which means you could end up paying more than you need to when you use a typical bank card abroad. With Revolut, you get competitive rates and fees, which can help you save money.
- It's reusable. Unlike prepaid cards, your Revolut card is one you can keep using after your trip, both at home and abroad.
- At Revolut, our top priority is keeping your money safe. More than 50+ million customers worldwide trust us to look after their money. Here are some of the ways we do that:
