Case Study: Rakuten Card achieves 40% faster credit card processing with Oracle Exadata

Rakuten Card Expedites Business Growth with Oracle Cloud at Customer

Rakuten Card, a Japanese financial technology company and credit card issuer, needed to replace its 25-year-old mainframe-based legacy system to handle rapid growth in cashless transactions and peak month-end workloads. To meet strict migration timelines while improving flexibility and reducing costs, it turned to Oracle Exadata and Oracle Cloud at Customer as part of its move to Oracle Engineered Systems.

Oracle Exadata and Oracle Cloud at Customer helped Rakuten Card migrate its COBOL-based system to a modern cloud environment in just one day, with the full cutover completed within three days. The new infrastructure delivered dynamic scalability and load balancing, processing month-end credit card transactions 40% faster, improving operating efficiency, and supporting stable, continuous business operations.
