Rakuten Bank to Boost Capital at Taiwanese Digital Banking Unit

Rakuten Bank, Ltd. ( (JP:5838) ) has issued an update.

Rakuten Bank will inject additional capital into its consolidated subsidiary, Rakuten International Commercial Bank in Taiwan, to strengthen the unit’s capital base and support operational expansion. The planned increase of TWD 1.4 billion, expected around July 2026 subject to local regulatory approvals and shareholder decisions, will keep Rakuten Bank’s ownership at 50% and is projected to have only a minor impact on the parent company’s overall financial position.

The move underscores Rakuten Bank’s commitment to growing its international electronic banking footprint, particularly in the Taiwanese market where RICB operates as a key digital banking platform. By reinforcing the subsidiary’s financial foundation in coordination with other shareholders, Rakuten Bank aims to enhance RICB’s management capabilities and position it for future business growth while maintaining stable capital efficiency at the group level.
