What is the Accountable Banking Cashback Program?

Written by Lina

Overview

With the Accountable Banking Cashback Program, you can earn cashback when you pay with your Accountable Banking card. 💳✨

Your cashback is calculated automatically based on your eligible card purchases.

The amount you can earn depends on your Accountable plan:

  • All Accountable Banking users: Earn 0.5% cashback on eligible card purchases, up to €10 per calendar month.

  • MAX users: Choose one category and earn 5% cashback on eligible purchases in that category, with a combined cashback limit of €25 per calendar month.

Cashback is available for both physical and virtual card payments.

How much cashback can I earn?

All Accountable Banking users

You can earn:

  • 0.5% cashback

  • On eligible card purchases

  • Up to €10 per calendar month

MAX users

As a MAX user, you can choose one cashback category and earn:

  • 5% cashback on eligible purchases in your selected category

  • 0.5% cashback on other eligible purchases

  • Up to €25 cashback in total per calendar month

The €25 limit is a combined monthly limit for both your regular and boosted cashback.

🛍️ Which purchases are eligible?

Cashback is earned on eligible card purchases once they have been settled.

Both of the following can be eligible:

  • Payments with your physical card

  • Payments with your virtual card

Cashback is not calculated when a payment is still pending. It is added once the transaction has been successfully settled.

🚫 Which transactions are not eligible?

The following transactions do not earn cashback:

  • ATM withdrawals

  • Gambling and betting transactions

  • Bank transfers

  • Direct debits

  • Fees

  • Declined transactions

  • Reversed or cancelled authorisations

🚀 What are the MAX cashback categories?

MAX users can choose one active category:

  • 🍽️ Restaurants

  • 💻 Software

  • 🚆 Transportation

  • ⛽ Petrol

  • 🔨 Construction

  • 📣 Advertising

The 5% cashback rate is applied to eligible purchases within your selected category.

🎯 How do I choose my cashback category?

As a MAX user, you can select one active cashback category at a time.

Your selected category receives the 5% cashback rate when eligible purchases are made.

If you are choosing a category for the first time, the boost starts once your category has been selected.

🔄 Can I change my cashback category?

Yes, you can change your category.

However, if you already have an active category, any change will take effect at the beginning of the next calendar month.

Your current category remains active until then.

‼️You can only have one active category at a time.

⏳ When is cashback calculated?

Cashback is calculated once an eligible card transaction has been settled.

You can see:

  • How much cashback an eligible transaction has earned

  • Your cashback activity as you continue using your card

A transaction counts towards the month in which it is settled.

For example, if you make a purchase on January 31 but the transaction settles on February 2, it will count towards your February cashback.

💶 When is cashback paid?

Your cashback is paid to your Accountable Banking balance on the 1st day of the following calendar month.

If the 1st falls on a weekend, the payout will be made on the following Monday.

📊 What happens when I reach my cashback limit?

Once you reach your monthly cashback limit, you will not earn additional cashback for the rest of that month.

  • Regular users: €10 per calendar month

  • MAX users: €25 per calendar month

Your limit resets at the beginning of every new calendar month. Unused cashback does not roll over.
