Zukauf:
!The acquisition of Asahi Fire & Marine is not Rakuten’s first foray into financial services. It already has interests in credit cards, banking, securities, life insurance, payment services and electronic money. In Germany, it has invested in insurtech startup Simplesurance. By leveraging its customer base through big data, Rakuten’s financial services revenues now contribute 38% of its overall sales. But Asahi Fire & Marine is bigger than most of those businesses. According to Nomura, revenue for the last full financial year, in March 2017, was US$910 million."
