\u201cShopBack\u2019s acquisition of Ebates Korea is a tremendous endorsement of the high quality product and reputation that we built and established in that market over the years,\u201d said Amit Patel, CEO, Rakuten Americas and Rakuten Rewards. \u201cShopBack\u2019s proven executional and operational capabilities will establish ShopBack as the top cashback platform in Korea and strengthen its leadership in the Asia Pacific region. We are excited about what this fresh start for the cashback business in Korea will mean for Ebates Korea\u2019s employees, merchants, and customers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
