Frequently Asked Questions

What is Kate Coin and how does it work?

Kate Coin is our rewards programme available in the ČSOB Smart app. After logging in, just tap the Kate Coin tile on the home screen. You’ll immediately see an overview of your Kate Coins (KTC).

Please note: Kate Coins are not a cryptocurrency or "electronic money" as defined by law.

What are Kate Coins?

Kate Coins are digital 'coins' (KTC) that we reward you with for using our services or paying with our card at selected stores. You can then exchange your Kate Coins for money back into your account or a voucher.

What are the conditions for using Kate Coin?

Kate Coin is only available in the ČSOB Smart app. It is open to all personal customers aged 18 or over who have ČSOB Identity and have given their consent for their personal data to be used for marketing purposes.

If you have withdrawn this consent in the past but want to start using Kate Coins, just tap the Kate Coin tile in the app and you'll be prompted to give your consent again.

What is the value of a Kate Coin?

After using your Kate Coins, you can receive money back into your account or a voucher. 1 Kate Coin is always worth at least 1 CZK. For some rewards, it could be more. It depends on the specific offer in the ČSOB Smart app.

I’m a customer but I don’t have a current account. Can I use Kate Coin?

You don’t need a current account to earn Kate Coins. However, cash rewards can only be paid into a current account held with us. If you use the ČSOB Smart app without an account and want to claim a reward, you can open your account directly in the app. And you'll get Kate Coins for doing so!

Where can I see my balance?

Your current Kate Coin balance is shown on the Kate Coin tile in ČSOB Smart. Please note it may take a moment for the balance to update.

How long does it take for Kate Coins to be credited?

Kate Coins are credited once you've met the conditions. For purchases at partner stores, this happens once the payment has been posted, which is usually within two working days.

How do vouchers work?

You can exchange your Kate Coins for a voucher for a selected store. How to redeem it is always described in the offer and on the voucher itself.

What if I forget to activate an offer to earn Kate Coins?

Unfortunately, Kate Coins won’t be credited without activating the offer. However, you can activate it for future purchases and earn Kate Coins the next time you shop.

How do I know if an offer needs to be activated?

Look for the Activate button on the offer. Once you tap it, the offer becomes active and you can start earning Kate Coins.

When does my voucher expire?

Simply tap on the voucher and its expiry date will appear straight away.

What if I don't redeem my voucher in time?

Can I cancel a voucher exchange?

What should I do if my voucher isn't working?

We're sorry to hear that. The quickest help will come from the partner store where you want to redeem the voucher — they can verify the validity, terms and the code itself. Before contacting them, please check the expiry date and that you've entered the code correctly.
