Japanese e-commerce giant Rakuten is planning to reorganise its fintech operations by integrating all its fintech businesses, including Rakuten Bank, into one unified entity in an attempt to gain a “competitive advantage” and optimise its “allocation of resources”.
The move will see Rakuten Card, Rakuten Securities Holdings, Rakuten Insurance Holdings, and other Rakuten-owned fintech businesses join with Rakuten Bank to form one unified group.
Rakuten Group says that the reorganisation aims to “leverage group synergies to maximise the lifetime value of each member and minimise customer acquisition costs, thereby maximising group profit”.

BTS and Seventeen Concert Films Head to Rakuten Viki (EXCLUSIVE)
A collection of concert films featuring K-Pop icons BTS and Seventeen will start to become available worldwide on Asian-themed streaming platform Rakuten Viki from next week.
An agreement between agency firm Hybe Corp. and Rakuten Viki provides a slate of nine concert films, variety shows, documentaries from July 5, kicking off with “BTS Speak Yourself in Seoul Final.”
While the content deals are not exclusive, the deal is the first time that Rakuten Viki is partnering with Hybe to bring its K-Pop content to the platform. Rakuten Viki also claims to be the largest streaming destination for Asian content globally, with 90 million users and that potentially puts Hybe’s content in front of larger pockets of fandom that smaller, interest-focused streamers or the large general interest streamers. Rakuten Viki operates a hybrid business model with ad-supported free viewing (AVOD) and premium (SVOD) tiers.

Telco OSS systems are evolving to become the automation enablers of next-generation networks, Rahul Atri, president of Rakuten Symphony’s OSS Business Unit, tells TelecomTV during the DTW24 event in Copenhagen. And absolutely key to enabling that automation and fuelling that transformation of the OSS, is a network operator’s data management strategy, which needs to have AI at its heart, for which Rakuten Symphony can offer an observability platform that is tried, tested and proven in Rakuten Mobile’s network in Japan.

Japanese neobank Rakuten Bank functions like any other universal bank, but with efficiency level that is synonymous with digital banks:
Rakuten Bank is Japan’s digital only bank that provides all the banking services, including deposits, loans, exchange transactions, investment trusts, securities, credit and cash cards, ATM deposits as well as lottery tickets. Incorporated in 2000 in Tokyo, it is part of Rakuten Group, the Japanese global technology conglomerate. It has some 15 million customer accounts and a market value of 322.2 billion yen.
The neobank is well-accepted in the country as its services are easily accessible 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. In recent years, the bank, in spite of its tag as a digital only bank, is being chosen as a main bank by a majority of its customers. A unique product is Rakuten Pay, an app that allows instant payment service from a Rakuten Bank account to any account, maybe at a store or a fuel station or a restaurant, using a smartphone anywhere, anytime.

According to Anna Michalowska, head of content and marketing country manager, Rakuten TV, Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) is becoming an increasingly important region for the company. Significantly, it defines the region as four markets – Poland, Romania, Hungary and the Czech Republic – with Poland, certainly in terms of population and availability of services (TVoD, AVoD and FAST), being the largest.
However, says Michalowska, Rakuten TV also has a presence in the TVoD market in several other CEE territories including Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia and Slovenia. She adds that in 2023 Rakuten TV localised its offer in Poland and Romania, with the Czech Republic and Hungary having since followed this year. There has, as yet, been no localisation in other markets in the region.
