What is the difference between RoundUps and Cash back?

Updated this week

These tools often get mixed up, but they work differently.

RoundUps – Using your own money to save

  • You buy coffee for $4.25

  • With RoundUps set to $5, we move $0.75 into savings

  • That $0.75 comes from your existing Spendable balance and helps you save automatically

Cash Back – Bonus reward from KOHO

  • You buy the same $4.25 coffee

  • Once the transaction settles, you earn 1% cash back — that’s $0.04

  • This is extra money from KOHO, not taken from your balance

Result: You saved with your own money and earned a little extra too 🎉
