Customers get a 2% cash-back reward on cumulative monthly purchases of at least Ksh12,500 or equivalent in US dollars when using their SBM Visa and UnionPay cards for point-of-sale and online transactions.
During the campaign, customers will qualify for the cashback by meeting the minimum monthly spend threshold. The cashback is capped at Ksh2,500 per card per month and campaign runs from 1st February till the end of April, 2024.
“We understand that our customers have a choice when it comes to banking services, and we want to show them our appreciation for choosing SBM Bank of Kenya,” Ms Beth Muthui, Director Consumer Banking said. “Our card cashback campaign is designed to not only reward our existing customers but also to attract new customers by showcasing the value and benefits of our cards.”
