Rakuten Payment Inc and Rakuten Edy Inc announced that they expanded the smartphone payment function of “Rakuten Pay (app payment)” and implemented the electronic money “Rakuten Edy” function in the “Rakuten Pay” app.

e-money Edy can be accessed directly from Rakuten Pay app

In March 2019, Rakuten Pay added a function for sending Rakuten Cash, an online electronic money between individuals. In addition, it has been continuously expanding its functions, including Rakuten Point Card shared point service.

This time, without downloading Rakuten Edy app separately, users will be able to register Edy, charge it (deposit), and display the balance in Rakuten Pay app.
