Likewise, in December Viber integrated banking into the app. Users can send and receive money within Viber by talking to chatbots, and this promises a new era of digital banking. Recently, Viber hired mobile advertising expert Djamel Agaoua as CEO. According to Bloomberg, in the new version of Viber (to be released in March) users will be able to make reservations at restaurants.
And we can also expect e-commerce to play a role in Viber’s future. Rakuten, Viber’s parent company, is an e-commerce giant often dubbed “the Amazon.com, Inc (NASDAQ:AMZN) of Japan.” When it bought Viber in 2014, Rakuten made clear its plans to eventually integrate the app into Rakuten’s ecosystem.
