Long story short:
I'm an American citizen and a newly published novelist. I reside exclusively in Japan. My first book will be coming out mid-2026, the second a couple of months later, the third a couple of months after that.
My publisher is based in the UK, and they're going to need a bank account of mine to pay the royalties into. I just wonder if it would be better to open an American bank account or just have them pay me into one of my Japanese accounts.
I've been looking into Wise Bank, but I see I can only hold up to 1,000,000 yen in the account at a time with it (but that can be increased to up to 20,000,000 yen temporarily). Would this be something worth using, or should I find another method?
Apologies for the vague questions. For anyone who has US- or UK-based income, what do you do?
