MyFans from Australia: Phone, Card Fees and Age Rules

Australia is the one big English-speaking country that sits almost on Japan’s clock, which makes renewals easy to plan. Card fees are another story: two major banks now list 3.5% on overseas transactions. Here’s how joining MyFans works with a +61 mobile and an Australian card, from MyFans’, the banks’ and eSafety’s own pages.

Entering an Australian mobile for SMS verification

MyFans’ phone verification screen has a country selector and a separate number box. Choose Australia (+61); the box then shows 0412 345 678 as its example, with the leading 0. Type your own mobile in that format and request the 6-digit code by SMS or voice call.

MyFans requires phone verification before you can pay. It excludes numbers starting with 050 and lets one number verify only one account. That’s an exclusion list, not a promise that every other number will receive a code. Paidy, atone and MyFans’ post-pay options need a Japanese number that can receive SMS, so with a home number you’ll be paying by card.

If the code screen shows an error, see our phone verification guide.

What Australian cards charge on a payment in yen

MyFans lists Visa, Mastercard and JCB, and accepts credit, debit and prepaid cards where the card allows it. Here’s what two major Australian banks list in their current fee booklets:

Older summaries of ANZ’s credit-card fees show 3%; its current booklet lists 3.5%. CommBank also makes a point that’s easy to miss: the fee covers overseas-connected transactions in Australian dollars too, so paying an overseas merchant in AUD doesn’t by itself avoid it. These are examples, not an Australian average, so check your own card’s fee schedule.

Paying in yen: how the amount can change

MyFans’ terms (article 14(2)) say fan-club prices are shown in Japanese yen and settled in the equivalent foreign currency. MyFans’ payment page adds that the conversion uses the rate set by the payment company, such as your card issuer, and that the issuer may add an overseas transaction fee. So the yen price stays fixed, while the amount in your own currency can move with the exchange rate.

So a yen price stays put, while the Australian-dollar amount, and the 3.5% on top of it if your card charges one, can shift slightly from month to month.

We haven’t yet confirmed whether MyFans’ checkout ever offers to charge you in your own currency. If any merchant makes that offer, it’s called dynamic currency conversion (DCC): Visa says the exchange rate, the markup and both amounts must be shown, and you must be able to say no.

The rest of checkout is in our MyFans payment guide.

If your card is declined

A low or zero fee doesn’t mean a card will be accepted. MyFans says some cards are refused by its payment-system company, that the decision is that company’s, and that it can’t give a list of which issuers work. We don’t list banks that “block” MyFans, because none of the card companies we checked publishes such a rule. If a card fails, our card declined guide goes through the checks in order.

Age rules in Australia

Adult content rules depend on where you live, and you must be 18 or over to use MyFans.

Australia’s eSafety Commissioner says viewing pornography is legal for adults, but access is age-restricted. Under the mandatory Age-Restricted Material Codes, which began for designated internet services and several other categories on 9 March 2026 (some categories started in December 2025), high-risk services such as pornography sites must check age and prevent under-18 access. eSafety places that obligation on the industry, and says government ID must not be the only age-check method a provider offers. These rules are separate from Australia’s under-16 social-media account rule. This is a summary, not legal advice.

Australian time zones and your renewal date

A monthly plan renews on the same calendar day the next month (shorter months move it to the last day), and MyFans asks you to cancel by the day before. MyFans doesn’t say which time zone that day follows, so the times below are simple arithmetic from official UTC offsets (Japan Standard Time is UTC+9), not a statement about MyFans’ billing clock.

NSW and the other participating states and territories run daylight time from the first Sunday in October to the first Sunday in April; Queensland, the Northern Territory and Western Australia don’t. Because the gap is only an hour or two, the calendar date in Japan is almost always the same as yours. On the east coast your day starts before Japan’s; in Perth, Japan’s day starts an hour before yours. MyFans asks you to cancel by the day before renewal, and cancelling a day early still gives you a safe margin. Our cancelling guide shows where.
