*as of October 2024.
The technical part of the National Cashback program was implemented by the Kitsoft team. Based on Kitsoft technologies, we managed to build a system on the Diia portal that allowed us to quickly collect and process large amounts of data about manufacturers and their products.
To do this, our team created a “List of Ukrainian Manufacturers” on the Diia portal, implemented all the necessary business processes, and set up data exchange between all systems for cashback calculation, which allowed users to receive cashback quickly and conveniently. And all this in a very short time: in 2.5 weeks, we have already started accepting applications from manufacturers to participate in the program!
Cashback is provided for any consumer goods submitted by manufacturers to participate in the program, with the exception of excisable goods. You can make a purchase in a network that has joined the project.
To receive cashback for Ukrainian-made goods, you need to:
- Open a special account and get a virtual or physical card.
- Give permission to the bank to transfer data on payments in stores that have joined the program.
- In the Diia mobile application, in the Services section, select the National Cashback service and specify the card number to which cashback will be credited monthly.
You can see the accrued cashback in Diia the next day after the purchase, and the cashback will be credited to the card by the 20th of the following month. The money can be spent on medical and utility services, transportation, mobile communications, sports, movies, charity and support for the Armed Forces, etc.
The National Cashback program is coordinated by the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine. The project is implemented by the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine, the State Tax Service, Oschadbank, and authorized banks of Ukraine. The technological partner in the program is the international payment system Mastercard. The project's operational partner is Visa, an international payment technology company.
