177 thousand Ukrainians already see cashback accrued to them for purchases in the first days of September in Diia. These are the results of another week of beta testing of the National Cashback. Banks are now working to ensure that all customers can see their cashback in the Diia app. To do this, they need to set up data exchange with the app's IT system. Some banks have already completed this work, while others are still testing. The setup will continue over the next few weeks. This was reported by Yulia Svyrydenko, First Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine and Minister of Economy of Ukraine.
“Ukrainians have received about UAH 2.9 million in cashback for their first purchases. It will be possible to receive money on the card for payments for purchases made in September until October 20. We see interest in the project from consumers - more than 1.2 million Ukrainians have opened cards for payments. Of these, about 638 thousand have designated a card for payments in Diia,” Svyrydenko said.
She also said that the range of products with cashback is also expanding. As of today, it includes 171 thousand products from 963 Ukrainian manufacturers.
“The good news. The first stores have started marking products for which you can get cashback. These are Aurora Multimarket, Epicenter K, COMFY, Kopylka LLC and Tavria V. Silpo and ATB-Market will start marking in the near future. These marks can be seen right on the price tags or on the shelves with goods. Now you can't make a mistake,” said the First Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine.
