The approval from the general meeting of shareholders is expected on June 24, 2026, and the stock issuance of Rakuten Bank is scheduled to be implemented accordingly. Through this restructuring, the group aims to strengthen internal funding and marketing cooperation, providing comprehensive financial services.\n\n### Future Outlook and Impact\nPost-restructuring, Rakuten Bank is expected to optimize internal funding costs, expand its customer base, and promote data linkage and AI utilization, aiming for approximately 33 billion yen in annual synergy effects by the fiscal year ending March 2028. Although share issuance may cause dilution, measures will be taken to maintain listing and enhance corporate value, balancing investor interests and growth strategies.","jir_financial_highlights":"Net Income of Rakuten Bank in the current term: Unknown (Unknown)\nTotal Assets of Rakuten Bank: Unknown (Unknown)\nOrdinary Income of Rakuten Bank: Unknown (Unknown)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#RakutenGroup, #IRFinancialResults, #JapanEquities","jir_key_figures":"Net Income of Rakuten Bank: Unknown\nTotal Assets of Rakuten Bank: Unknown\nOrdinary Income of Rakuten Bank: Unknown","jir_meta_title":"\u3010Rakuten Group\u3011Final Agreement on Fintech Restructuring | May 2026","jir_meta_description":"Rakuten Group reached a final agreement in May 2026 to reorganize its fintech business, progressing toward making Rakuten Bank its parent company.
