MyFans from the US: Phone Number, Cards and Fees

Updated and checked against the MyFans help centre on 11 October 2026

Short answer

Pick United States (+1) in MyFans’ country list and type your 10-digit number in the format the form shows, (201) 555-0123. Pay with a Visa, Mastercard or JCB card. Prices are in yen and your issuer converts them; Chase lists a 3% foreign transaction fee on Freedom Unlimited and none on Freedom Flex, and Capital One says it charges none. You must be 18 or over.

Joining MyFans from the United States is mostly the same as from anywhere else, but three things are American: how you enter a +1 number, how US card issuers price a payment in yen, and how far your time zone sits from Japan. This guide covers each one, using only what MyFans and the card companies themselves publish.

Entering a US number for SMS verification

On MyFans’ phone verification screen there’s a country selector and a separate box for the number itself. Choose United States (+1); the number box then shows (201) 555-0123 as its example. Type your own mobile number the same way, with the area code first, 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 screen shows an error, our phone verification guide lists the fixes MyFans gives, including turning off browser translation.

Your card and foreign transaction fees

MyFans lists Visa, Mastercard and JCB, and accepts credit, debit and prepaid cards where the card itself allows it. Because the price is in yen, a US card treats it as a foreign transaction. Whether that costs extra depends entirely on your card. Here is what two big US issuers publish:

Foreign transaction fees on US cards (issuers’ own pages, checked 11 October 2026)
Issuer and cardForeign transaction feeWhat the issuer says
Chase Freedom Unlimited3%Charged on the US-dollar amount of the transaction
Chase Freedom FlexNoneChase’s current comparison table lists no foreign transaction fee
Capital One (US cards)NoneNo foreign transaction or currency-conversion fees

These are examples, not a US average. Other cards from the same banks can differ, so check the “foreign transaction fee” line in your own card’s terms before you subscribe.

Paying in yen: what to expect on your statement

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.

Capital One adds a detail worth knowing: foreign-currency transactions are converted to US dollars, and the rate on the processing date may differ from the rate on the day you bought. So a ¥ price that never changes can still show up as a slightly different dollar amount from one month’s renewal to the next.

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.

For the rest of the payment flow, including the confirmation screen and MyFans’ purchase fee, see 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.

US 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.

How far Japan is ahead of US time zones (NIST and NICT offsets)
Where you areStandard timeDaylight time
EasternJapan 14 hours aheadJapan 13 hours ahead
CentralJapan 15 hours aheadJapan 14 hours ahead
PacificJapan 17 hours aheadJapan 16 hours ahead
Most of Arizona (no daylight time)Japan 16 hours aheadJapan 16 hours ahead
Hawaii (no daylight time)Japan 19 hours aheadJapan 19 hours ahead

Daylight time starts on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November (this year, 1 November 2026); Japan doesn’t change its clocks, so the gap shifts by an hour. In practice Japan is already in tomorrow for most of your evening: 9 pm Eastern on the 14th in October is 10 am on the 15th in Japan. That’s why we suggest cancelling a full day or more before the renewal date shown in your account. Our cancelling guide shows where.

Age checks and US state laws

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

Some US states, including Texas and Louisiana, have their own age-verification laws for adult websites. In Texas, section 129B.002 puts the duty to verify that visitors are 18 or over on covered commercial publishers and distributors of sites where more than a third of the material is sexual material harmful to minors; the US Supreme Court upheld that requirement on 27 June 2025. Louisiana’s law (RS 51:2121) likewise enforces age verification against covered commercial publishers and distributors. In both cases the obligation sits with the website operator. Rules and court cases differ from state to state, and this is a summary, not legal advice.

Quick answers

How do I enter a US phone number on MyFans?

Choose United States (+1) in the country selector, then type your number in the box in the format it shows: (201) 555-0123.

Do I need a Japanese phone number?

Not to pay by card. MyFans excludes numbers starting with 050. A Japanese SMS number is needed only for Paidy, atone and post-pay options.

Will my US card charge a foreign transaction fee?

It depends on the card. Chase lists 3% on Freedom Unlimited and none on Freedom Flex; Capital One says it charges no foreign transaction fees. Check your own card’s terms.

Why is my dollar amount different each month?

MyFans prices stay in yen and your issuer converts them. Capital One notes the processing-date rate can differ from the purchase-date rate.

Which time zone does MyFans use for renewals?

MyFans doesn’t say. Japan is 13 to 19 hours ahead of US time zones, so cancel at least a full day before your renewal date.
