January 13, 2015 - Rakuten Card Co., Ltd. today announced that it has established Taiwan Rakuten Card, Inc., and from January 13, 2015, the new company has begun accepting applications for and issuing Taiwan Rakuten Card credit cards. Taiwan is the first country outside Japan in which Rakuten Card has issued its own credit card.
Rakuten Card, where cardholders can earn Rakuten Super Points, Rakuten’s loyalty points program, has been highly successful in Japan. In order to develop this model in Taiwan, Taiwan Rakuten Card obtained a license to issue credit cards in Taiwan from Taiwan’s Financial Supervisory Commission in June 2014.
Taiwan Rakuten Card is a credit card with no annual fee that allows cardholders to earn Rakuten Super Points on their purchases made with the card. For each purchase, cardholders can earn Rakuten Super Points equivalent to 1% of the settlement amount of the purchase. However, when used on the Rakuten Ichiba Taiwan shopping mall, cardholders will receive an additional 1%, allowing them to earn Rakuten Super Points equivalent to a total of 2% of the settlement amount. These Rakuten Super Points can be used for shopping on Rakuten Ichiba Taiwan, with 1 point equal to 1 New Taiwan dollar, offering users a highly convenient service centered on Rakuten Super Points.
