Subscription payment methods
J-Net accepts subscription payments by bank transfer. We also offer the option of paying via PayPal to overseas applicants, who would otherwise incur international bank transfer charges.

We regret that we cannot provide a receipt from “J-Net” in the case of PayPal payments.
Frequently Asked Questions
Must I be a member of the ITI to join J-Net?
No, non-members of ITI can join as Friends of J-Net. About half of our members are in this category. Friends have access to our mailing list and are listed in our directory of members.
I’m looking for translation/interpreting work. Should I join J-Net?
Offers of work are posted to the members list, but nothing is guaranteed and this shouldn’t be the reason you join. J-Net is first and foremost a group of people with a professional interest in translation and interpreting between Japanese and English, not a translation company/agency.
