Rakuten Pay is an Android application designed as a mobile payment solution. With its help, you can conduct seamless transactions.
Payments
The application caters to both online shoppers and in-store purchasers, facilitating seamless transactions. For this purpose, you can link various financial sources, such as bank accounts, credit cards, and even your accumulated Rakuten point balances.
Rakuten Pay offers simplicity and security. For instance, when at a store, you can initiate payments by scanning a QR or barcode presented by merchants. To ensure transactions are protected, the utility integrates several authentication procedures. Similar to PicPay, it encompasses everything from passcodes to biometric verifications.
Integration
An outstanding feature of the app is its integration with the wider Rakuten ecosystem. As you transact, you can obtain points, a form of digital currency redeemable across Rakuten’s vast network of services. These include e-commerce, travel, and entertainment.
Given its user-centric design and the credibility of the Rakuten brand, the utility stands as not just a payment tool, but a central hub in the digital lifestyle of many Japanese residents. Therefore, it is also available in Japanese only, excluding alternatives.
