Our free voice and messaging service Viber is much-loved by more than 800 million users around the world and, since acquisition in 2014, we have been more focused on growth than on profitability, but in recent months we have made some changes. We decided to set in motion a series of big and small improvements, including hiring a new CEO and finding ways to increase revenue, not just on the telecommunications side of the business but in content, like advertisements and sticker sales.
Now it’s clear those improvements have had an effect. In the first quarter of this year Viber’s revenue was up 80% compared to last year – with much of the lift coming from content. The service is now clearly on the road to profitability.

Last month, Rakuten’s signature loyalty program, Rakuten Super Points, reached an extraordinary new milestone. In the 15 years since it was established, the program has given out a total of one trillion yen worth of points to its members – by today’s exchange rate, that’s equivalent to roughly $9.1 billion.
The Rakuten ecosystem boasts some 90 million user accounts in Japan alone, covering the vast majority of Japan’s online population. Each account automatically earns Rakuten Super Points with every transaction, essentially solving the problem of member acquisition.
Rakuten is all about membership
At its heart, Rakuten is a membership company that is focused on empowering its members, and Rakuten Super Points are at its center. Each and every one of Rakuten’s services owes a large part of its success to being part of the Rakuten ecosystem. And that ecosystem runs on Rakuten Super Points.
