How can I talk to this person when I can't understand Japanese? My question was simple. To ask that if I want to send money to our bank account in Japan, do I need a BIC code? If yes, what is the BIC code? It was frustrating because he can't understand me and I can't understand him. I used broken English and some Japanese words but it was no use. He was apologetic and I said goodbye and thank you after 10 minutes of trying to understand each other.
I wanted to cry because of my inability to communicate. It was really frustrating! Grrr!!!
Perhaps, I should've asked our bank here in Germany. Yes, I should give them a try. I wish that someone knows English this time otherwise, my German skills will be put to test. Wish me luck!

hi kikamz, i can totally relate how you feel, lost in translation? Btw, I think yes, if its international transfer then you need to have BIC or bank identifier code, its commonly called SWIFT here in Germany. Hope you can have your transactions done!goodluck dear.
