Can I pay Rakuten with crypto?

Your spend is covered entirely from crypto, with no bank account required.
Paying Rakuten with USDT

Rakuten is a global e-commerce and cashback rewards platform spanning shopping, travel and more. Use your Kripicard crypto virtual card to shop and earn rewards across thousands of partner stores. Because Kripicard issues a standard Visa or Mastercard virtual card, your purchase is authorized over the same networks Rakuten already uses, so there's nothing different to configure on their side.
Rakuten checkout treats your Kripicard exactly like any other Visa or Mastercard, so you can shop online, save the card for repeat orders, and keep your spending funded entirely from stablecoins.
