  This paper summarizes current results for rare non-hadronic b decay
processes. The world average Br(b -> s gamma)=(3.14 +/-0.48)x10^(-4) is in
agreement with the standard model prediction. Upper limits on b-> s l^+ l^- and
b -> l^+ l^- are also given. Finally B^- -> l^- nu upper limits are presented
as well as the world average value of (255+/- 21 +/- 28) MeV for f_{Ds} from
D_s^+ -> l^+ nu decay rate measurements.
