The Cashback service is connected to all Altyn Asyr card holders of the Halkbank and Türkmenistan banks, as well as to the Maestro card holders of the Rysgal bank.

In addition, the clients of Türkmenistan bank, receiving student allowances, military allowances and state social assistance payments, will receive 1% cash back on all purchases.

The issue of introducing the Cashback service in the country's banks was considered at a meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers of Turkmenistan on November 15 last year.
A Cashback is an incentive program operated by banks and card companies where a percentage of the amount spent via debit or credit card is paid back to the card holder.
