Rakuten wesentlich besser als Rocket
Bola Sol, from Rakuten, said: “With skincare and make-up routines and trends taking over social media, it’s no surprise that younger children are asking for more luxurious beauty products.
“All parents want to make their kids happy, but it’s also important to balance that with your budget. A great way to do this is by tracking products for when they go on sale, and where possible, bag even more savings by using a cashback provider such as Rakuten to make the purchase through.”

Japan Credit Rating Agency, Ltd. (JCR) announces the following credit rating.
Bonds: A-
Rationale
Rakuten Card Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) is a credit card company in the Rakuten Group (the “Group”).
Rakuten Group, Inc. (“Rakuten”) holds approximately 85% voting rights and dispatches multiple directors to the Company. Given also strong unity in management decision-making and business administration, the degree of Rakuten’s involvement in the Company is high. Moreover, playing such roles as providing settlement and financial functions and retaining customers through a point-rewarding program as a core of the Group’s FinTech businesses, the Company is managerially important to the Group. Based on the above, JCR deems the Company’s long-term issuer rating to be commensurate with the Group’s creditworthiness, which is equivalent to the rating of A-. Bonds to be issued are senior notes, and JCR determined the rating to be at the same level as the long-term issuer rating.

On May 26th, Rakuten immediately responded to the Japan's Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries' call for reserve rice vendors. "Where will it be milled?" "There are no bags to package the rice!" "Is the sales page ready?" "Are logistics okay?" As challenges piled up one after another, RNN was behind-the-scenes to cover the story of "Rakuten Lifestyle Support Rice", a product which came to life in just four days. E-Commerce Consultants relayed materials from Osaka to milling facilities in Chiba, project team members visited milling facilities and reserve rice warehouses to confirm details on-site, and logistics teams delivered the precious rice quickly and carefully. Thanks to the cooperation of materials and milling vendors nationwide as well as everyone involved in logistics, Rakuten's rice project, a catalyst for change in the world, continues.
