How to early repay Rakuten credit card

If you have a Rakuten credit card (楽天カード) in Japan, you may want to make an early repayment of the card balance to recover the credit limit. In general, the steps are to first notify Rakuten that we wish to make an early repayment, where the repayment details will be given. Then we transfer funds according to the repament details provided. I highly recommend to try repaying a small bill first just to make sure you’ve got all the steps right. There are two methods for those who don’t speak much Japanese to make the early repayment notification. If you speak only English and don’t mind speaking to the call center, follow <a href="https://support.rakuten-card.jp/faq/show/20495?site_domain=guest" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">the guide from Rakuten here</a>. If you do speak some Japanese (or is able to record the call to translate afterwards), there is another fully automated method that doesn’t involve speaking to a customer service officer. <a href="https://medium.com/@syistyping/how-to-early-repay-rakuten-credit-card-5e3fef9ec8be">Click Here</a>
