Rakuten Payment and Rakuten Edy have added a ‘Balance Keeping Charge’ function to the ‘Rakuten Pay’ app.
It checks the balance once a day and automatically charges the Rakuten Cash balance to a predetermined amount, ranging from 1,000 yen to 100,000 yen, in 1 yen units if there is a shortfall.
Many users who use the Rakuten Securities automated charging function for investment trust accumulations with Rakuten Cash, introduced in June 2022 to keep the balance above a certain amount for continuous investment, prompted the expansion into the ‘Rakuten Pay’ app.
