Mitsubishi UFJ (MUFG) SWIFT Code: BOTKJPJT

MUFG SWIFT Code: BOTKJPJT

The SWIFT/BIC code for MUFG Bank (Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group) is BOTKJPJT. BOTK traces back to the Bank of Tokyo, which merged with Mitsubishi UFJ in 2018. JP stands for Japan, and JT is the location code for Tokyo, where the bank's global headquarters is located.

MUFG is the largest bank in Japan and one of the largest financial institutions in the world by total assets. It operates in over 50 countries and is a critical node in international payment flows across Asia.

Sending a Wire to MUFG Bank

To send an international wire to an MUFG account, you'll need the recipient's full name (in both English and Japanese katakana if available), their MUFG account number, the branch code, and the SWIFT code BOTKJPJT. The bank's head office address is 2-7-1 Marunouchi, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo 100-8388, Japan.

Japan does not use IBANs. Instead, you need the branch code and account number. Incoming wires in JPY settle within 1 to 2 business days. Transfers in USD or EUR may take 2 to 4 business days.

MUFG Fees and International Transfers

MUFG charges approximately ¥1,500 to ¥4,000 for incoming international wires, depending on the currency and amount. Outgoing international wires cost ¥3,500 to ¥7,500. Fees may be higher for transfers requiring currency conversion.

As the largest Japanese correspondent bank, MUFG processes a significant share of JPY-denominated international transfers. Many banks outside Japan route yen payments through MUFG, making BOTKJPJT one of the most frequently used SWIFT codes for JPY transactions.
