Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov reported on the completion of the public beta test of the National Cashback program. He called it «one of the most complex services in the history of the digital state».
Testing of the National Cashback program has been conducted since September 2. For more than a month, the team of the Ministry of Digital Transformation has been identifying and correcting, analyzing user feedback. And now everything is ready to launch the service in full.
According to Fedorov, during the testing period, more than 1 million users took part in the National Cashback program – they already see National Cashback in «Diia». Earlier it was reported that 1.6 million Ukrainians joined the program, and within a month they were credited with UAH 42 million of cashback. Now the amount of cashback accrued has increased to UAH 73.2 million. It has not yet been reported how much was actually paid to the program participants.
The National Cashback program has already attracted 1317 Ukrainian producers. At the same time, 260 thousand different products participate in the program.
Under the terms of the program, citizens will be able to refund 10% of the cost of Ukrainian goods included in the relevant register. The total refund amount cannot exceed UAH 3,000 per month. The funds are credited through «Diia» and paid to a specially opened card. Another important thing is that in order to participate in the National Cashback program, you must give permission to view transactions on your bank card (or cards), which you use to pay for purchases. Cashback will be credited automatically.
