Dummy Card Generator VS TransferWise Debit Card

Yeah you should vpn to Japan then add an account to your android phone in the setting. You can either add a gmail not tied to any android phone or create a new one. Once you get to the "add payment" step enter the dummy details (unless you really do have a Japanese cc add that) you can use this Link to generate a dummy cc (make sure you select visa).

You can get a European bank account with Wise and transfer the money to your SA bank account at much lower fees than PayPal or whatnot. You will also get much better conversion rates than having the company do SWIFT payments into your SA account. Source: 11 months ago

Have you looked into a Wise multi currency account? I believe you can setup SEPA (euro) direct debits with it as well as send SEPA transfers in euros with low fees: https://wise.com/gb/multi-currency-account/. Source: over 1 year ago

If not, I would also recommend Wise. It's a great service, especially if you are going to need to fund the account with both GBP and EUR. Not only can you use Wise to move GBP to EUR, you could also use it as a multi-currency bank account. Source: almost 2 years ago
