What is Cashback?

Find out what Cashback is all about and how it works.

Updated this week

Cashback is a reward you earn when making eligible purchases with your Brighty card at participating merchants in selected categories. It is a promotional reward credited to your dedicated Cashback Balance and does not constitute a deposit, e-money, or savings.


How does Cashback work?

  1. You make an eligible purchase using your Brighty card.

  2. The transaction must be successfully authorized and settled.

  3. Once confirmed by the merchant and payment processor, cashback is credited to your Cashback Balance.

  4. Most cashback is credited within 5 business days, although some merchants may take up to 90 days or longer due to settlement
    cycles, returns windows, or external verification.

Cashback is calculated based on the final settled amount of the transaction.


How much cashback can I earn?
