It’s been found by studies that 73% of consumers prefer to communicate with a brand they can message rather than call and 58% of them believe that messaging is also the fastest way to communicate with brands. What’s more, 74% of customers prefer messaging with businesses if a real person is responding.
While communication between brands and consumers is constantly evolving, business messaging is growing too. Brands actively use rich services and capabilities Viber provides them with, and the numbers show as much: in 2021 in the Philippines, Viber saw a cumulative growth of 112% across all types of business messages delivered—and 291% growth specifically in conversational business messages.

JUNE 30, 2022
On May 13, 2022, Rakuten Mobile announced a review of its cell phone plans. The company has been famous for its free plan that allows users to use up to 1GB per month for free, but with “Rakuten UN-LIMIT VII” starting July 1, users will be charged 1,078 yen for less than 1GB, which means the “0 yen” plan will end. This news has been quite a topic of discussion, and while it may be very damaging to users who were using 0 yen, the price of 2,178 yen for over 3GB to 20GB and 3,278 yen for over 20GB has not changed; rather, there are more benefits for users who are paying the price. Here is a summary of what benefits are available.
Rakuten Mobile users can earn up to 6X points on purchases at Rakuten Market by using Rakuten Card and other cards together. The plan will be implemented ahead of schedule starting June 1, one month earlier than July, when the rate plans will be changed.
The initial free subscription period for Rakuten Group content such as Rakuten Magazine, Rakuten Music, NBA Rakuten, and Pacific League Special is set to be as long as 31 days or 3 months, and discounts and substantial point redemptions are constantly offered after the free subscription period ends.

"Rakuten is a large conglomerate of e-commerce, financial, telecom, and consumer service dominating the Japanese online economy. The telecom segment has been a major cash drain and spooked investors out. The strong growth and quality of the core business have been ignored and left the company undervalued. The mobile business is set to turn profitable and this should change the narrative (and valuation multiples) around Rakuten."

Rakuten Group, Inc. (hereinafter “the Company”) announces that Rakuten Bank, Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Rakuten Bank"), our consolidated subsidiary, applied for listing on the Tokyo Stock Exchange today.
Up until now, Rakuten Group (hereinafter “the Group”) has set "empowering people and society through innovation" as its basic management philosophy. In Japan and overseas, we have developed more than 70 services in a wide range of fields such as e-commerce, travel, and digital contents, credit cards, banking, securities, etc. In addition, we have developed e-money, FinTech (financial) services such as smartphone app payments, mobile services such as our mobile carrier business, and professional sports, all based on membership centered on Rakuten members. We have formed a unique "Rakuten ecosystem" that connects services to each other. By creating an environment where members in Japan and overseas can use multiple services in a migratory and continuous manner, we aim for synergistic effects such as maximizing the lifetime value per member and minimizing customer acquisition costs, and for maximizing group profits.
In order for the Group to continue to grow sustainably in the rapidly changing Internet industry, we aim for a system that enables swift decision-making in each business, while further increasing the capital efficiency of each business, based on the business environment surrounding each business. Hence we believe it is important to improve the competitiveness and mobility of the Group through a constructive approach. We believe that the expansion and autonomous acceleration of the Rakuten ecosystem through the further enhancement of services through advanced technology, and the enhancement of the value of each business, will contribute to maximizing the corporate value of the Group. Against this background, as announced in the "Announcement Regarding Start of Preparation for Initial Public Offering of Rakuten Bank, Ltd." dated September 30, 2021, the Group has been preparing for the listing of Rakuten Bank's shares since September 2021. We believe that through the listing of Rakuten Bank’s shares, Rakuten Bank will be able to carry out management with a more autonomous perspective, and to consider various growth and financial strategies, including its own financing.
Expansion of the Rakuten ecosystem is important for the further sustainable growth of the Group, and when preparing for the listing of Rakuten Bank's shares, the Company assumes that, even after the listing, Rakuten Bank will remain an important consolidated subsidiary of the Company, in particular in developing the Group’s FinTech Business. We will continue to consider the organizational structure of the Group in consideration of creditworthiness and financial soundness, and aim to maximize the growth and corporate value of the Group.
Regarding the listing of shares of Rakuten Bank on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, it is necessary to obtain approval from Tokyo Stock Exchange, Inc. after a future listing examination by the Japan Exchange Regulation. Therefore, availability of the listing and the scheduled listing date have not yet been decided.
