Our UCount Rewards Programme has been a long time in the making and is designed to award Standard Bank customers for their loyalty, giving them redeemable points for everyday purchases. Such a comprehensive solution has naturally received all kinds of questions, such as: ‘Why am I charged a membership fee?’
While customers may not always be aware of it, all banks charge a membership fee when you participate in their rewards or loyalty programmes. At just R20 a month or R240 a year, our fee is very competitively priced. For example, Bank A charges R21/R252 a year to participate in their programme, Bank B has an annual credit card linkage fee of R200 and Bank C charges R179 a year.
Why do we charge a membership fee?Quite simply, the membership fee contributes towards the administration of the programme. The UCount Rewards Programme is an opt-in, value-added product that allows members to collect rewards points on every Standard Bank personal debit, credit and cheque card transaction.
