With over 100 million users in Japan alone (and over 1.6 billion globally), Rakuten provides more than 70 diverse services, including e-commerce platforms like shopping malls and travel booking sites, financial services such as internet banking, and media services like professional sports.

By broadly covering people's daily lives and organically connecting customers with various services, Rakuten has built a robust business model known as the "Rakuten Ecosystem.

"

Within this ecosystem, Rakuten Payment, Inc.

as a member of the Rakuten Group FinTech Group Company, operates businesses primarily centered on payment services such as "Rakuten Pay," "Rakuten Edy," and "Point Partner," as well as marketing solutions.

"Leveraging the power of technology to create a world where everyone, everywhere, can enjoy the same value."

With this vision, we strive to address the diverse challenges faced by all people and move forward together towards the next stage.

Department Overview

Features & Strengths


Leveraging the market scale of "Rakuten Points," which has surpassed a cumulative issuance of 3 trillion yen, we are building the "Rakuten Ecosystem" through service collaborations with various Rakuten Group companies and the accelerating adoption of cashless payment services in physical stores.


Our payment services are available at approximately 5 million online and offline locations, including supermarkets, convenience stores, and shopping malls nationwide, in addition to about 1 million transportation IC card-compatible locations, and the number of usable locations continues to expand.


Product Development Division handles everything from planning system services related to payment, UI/UX planning and implementation, basic and detailed system design, coding, testing, and operation.

As services expand, you will gain experience in planning, building, and operating highly scalable systems. Furthermore, by directly listening to customer feedback, you can contribute to service improvements.


We aim to provide Rakuten Point-related services to physical stores, fostering a lively, communicative, and smiling society where customers, partners, communities, and society are mutually empowered through innovation.
