Past Efforts
Building elementary schools in South East Asia
In past years, Rakuten Bank funded the building of an elementary school in Cambodia (January 2006) and in the Philippines (January 2008) through the public interest incorporated association Plan Japan. To commemorate surpassing 4 million accounts, we funded another school in the Philippines in April 2012.
Scholarship Program
We launched an endowment to support foreign exchange students studying in Japan. We will continually support the students for 4 years until graduation, focused on supporting self-funded exchange students. Through these scholarships, we hope to support the growth and development of people who can contribute to Japan and global society.
Financial education
The Bank holds financial education seminars for elementary and junior high school students.
