 B. Methods of Payment
Membership dues may be paid using any of the following methods. IPMO or IGPT is favorable but gcheckh or gdemand drafth is unfavorable because it takes an expensive realization rate in Japan.

However bank remittance also requires commission, which would be so much especially in the case of oversea remittance.

a) International Postal Money Order (IPMO): Payable to CYTOLOGIA

b) International Giro Postal Transfer (IGPT): Postal account No. 00170-6-41844

c) Check or Demand Draft: When you use gcheckh or gdemand drafth,
you must increase a realization rate (2,500 yen/once) to a Regular Membership fee (9,800 yen/year). It is 12,300 yen in total. It is OK that you will mention as PAY to just "CYTOLOGIA" in gcheckh or gdemand drafth.

d) Bank Remittance: When you use gbank remittanceh,
you must increase a commission (2,500 yen/once) to a Regular Membership fee (9,800 yen/year). It is 12,300 yen in total.
