“This is the largest amount for a month since the launch of the ‘National Cashback’ program in September 2024. The state has already returned nearly 2 billion hryvnias to the people. When you buy Ukrainian, you support the economy and receive 10% cashback,” the statement reads.
The average payout per participant in March was approximately 130.29 hryvnias. State payouts are increasing each month: in September, 37.2 million hryvnias were paid out, in October — 119.2 million, in November — 232 million, in December and January — 714 million, in February — 384 million, and in March — 443 million hryvnias.
Conditions for Participation in the Program
Any citizen with an account at one of the partner banks, of which there are more than 20, can join the program. To become a participant, you need to:
- submit an application through the bank’s website or app;
- provide the cards for payment and allow the bank to share transaction information;
- open a physical or virtual “National Cashback” card and activate it;
- go to the “Services” tab in the Diia app and select the bank card from which you will receive payouts.
The specified card will receive 10% of the cost of goods produced in Ukraine that qualify for the program. To find out if a purchase qualifies for cashback, you can scan the product’s barcode using the Diia app by opening the scanner in the “National Cashback” section.
