ShopBack Malaysia, the top online Cashback site in the country, announces the launch of its inaugural #ShopBackGiveBack initiative today. Shoppers are now able to channel the Cashback they get from online purchases to four non-profit organisations – Kechara Soup Kitchen (KSK), The Budimas Charitable Foundation (Budimas), The National Kidney Foundation (NKF) of Malaysia, and World Vision Malaysia, to support their projects.
Each charity organisation is committed to a different cause. For instance, KSK offers the homeless and urban poor vegetarian food, basic medical, as well as job matching and welfare assistance; while Budimas devotes efforts to improving the children’s lives through education, better living environment and food supplies.
Moreover, NKF Malaysia subsidises dialysis treatment for kidney failure patients; and World Vision Malaysia will dedicate funds toward their work on clean water and healthcare programmes, which will help over 16,000 people in 7 countries.
To relieve burdens of underprivileged groups, #ShopBackGiveBack enables users to gain incentives in the form of Cashback via their travel, F&B, IT, beauty, healthcare, household and groceries purchases, and then donate it to charity organisations without forking out extra.
Every effort helps to build a better future
“The act of giving is embedded in ShopBack’s DNA as the core of our business involves giving Cashback to the online shoppers. Although we are a startup and may have certain resource constraints compared to bigger corporations, we are keen to help and contribute to the best of our capability,” said Gil Carmo, Country Head of ShopBack Malaysia.
“We believe any effort that we can make today, will create a difference to someone’s world tomorrow. Every kind action counts. This is the same message that we wish to convey to every shopper. We sincerely welcome like-minded companies to join and support #ShopBackGiveBack,” Gil added.
Established in February 2015, ShopBack Malaysia collaborates with over 500 international and online e-retailers such as Groupon, Lazada, Agoda, TaoBao, Hermo, HappyFresh, Taobao, Zalora and more to incentivise shoppers with up to 30% hard cash whenever they make a purchase online.
Currently, there are more than 280,000 Malaysians benefiting from ShopBack’s daily Cashback offer and promotions. Anyone can sign up for free and cash out their Cashback once it exceeds RM10, or opt to transfer their extra savings to help the needy through #ShopBackGiveBack.
