Rakuten Viber brings money transfer service to Cyprus

Monday 24 April 2023 10:54

Calling and messaging app Rakuten Viber has announced the gradual launch of Viber Pay, its real-time account-to-account (A2A) money transfer service, in Cyprus.

With the addition of this fintech feature, the platform aims to consolidate its position as a super app and further its growth trajectory. The Cyprus launch follows the initial function presentation in Greece and Germany in July 2022, and being a secure, easy-to-use feature that enables money transfers from country to country, it is expected to be appreciated by users with relatives, friends, or business partners in these regions.

Digital payments and Viber Pay’s capabilities

As of now, Viber Pay enables direct and free transactions between Greece, Germany, and Cyprus, and Cyprus-based users can send money to each other in an easy and secure manner by creating a digital wallet through a two-minute process that requires registration and email confirmation.

The service allows transactions of up to EUR 120, or EUR 4,500 should the user confirm additional details. Furthermore, Viber Pay users have the option to send money from their wallet to other Viber users even if they don’t have a digital wallet set up, and these features are set to be available to Cyprus-based users within the following days.

The company said by integrating advanced models of generative AI, such as DALL-E and Davinci, the Viber app allows users to ask the chatbot any question or test the chatbot’s creativity by designing unique images.

To utilize the latest AI tools taking the world by storm, consumers must set up a new account for each AI service they want to try.

The consumer often needs to be tech-savvy with a basic understanding of AI’s workings. With an influx of interest in AI, Viber’s goal is to make AI more accessible and easy to employ for its users.

Viber acts as the interface between the complex technology and the user, allowing everyone to take part in the fun without having to provide access to their email or create a separate account for each service.

Mit der im zweiten Halbjahr 2021 angesiedelten Rakuten Symphony Deutschland GmbH konnte Düsseldorf ein weiteres Schwergewicht der ITK-Branche für den Standort gewinnen.

Als Teil der japanischen Rakuten Group, Inc., einem global erfolgreich tätigen Anbieter von Internet Services, soll Rakuten Symphony den globalen Ausbau des Cloud-nativen offenen Standards Open RAN vorantreiben. Aufgrund der weltweit ersten erfolgreichen Inbetriebnahme eines Open RAN basierten Mobilfunknetzes in Japan, gilt Rakuten als führender Experte auf diesem Gebiet.

Im Zentrum der von der Düsseldorfer Unternehmenszentrale gesteuerten Aktivitäten steht die Partnerschaft mit 1&1 beim Ausbau und Betrieb dessen 5G-Netzes. Das seit September 2021 in Düsseldorf tätige Kernteam ist bereits auf mehr als 200 Beschäftigte angewachsen und soll sich bis Ende 2023 verdoppeln. Seinen Sitz hat das Unternehmen in der Airport City an der Wanheimer Straße 68 in direkter Nachbarschaft zu 1&1.

Das Japan Desk bei der Wirtschaftsförderung Düsseldorf begleitet Rakuten Symphony und unterstützt unter anderem bei aufenthaltsrechtlichen Anliegen und beim Zugang zu den relevanten Netzwerken. So besuchte das Team gemeinsam mit Vertreter*innen des Competence Center 5G.NRW (CC5G.NRW) Anfang April das Testcenter von Rakuten Symphony im benachbarten Ratingen, wo ebenfalls rund 30 Beschäftigte des Unternehmens arbeiten.
