We can always use the cash back service.

Cash back - for whom and what is it about?

The amount charged decreases the card's non-cash limit accordingly, and the bank does not set any additional limits for this service. Both operations - purchases and withdrawals - are authorized and settled in one transaction, which debits our account with their sum.

To use the cash back service, all you need to do is have a payment card issued by Visa or MasterCard®. There is no need for additional service activation.

The only limitation is the amount of the limit set for our card, to which cash back transactions are added - depending on the regulations of our card bank.
