LONDON, Dec. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Runa, the global digital value infrastructure for instant B2C payments, today announced its expanded partnership with ShopBack, the largest cashback and rewards platform in Asia-Pacific, offering Australians cashback on purchases at more than 4,000 online, in-store and gift card brands, including household brands like Chemist Warehouse, Amazon, The ICONIC, and eBay.

"Looking forward, we envision leveraging this partnership to continue driving innovation in the cashback and rewards space."

"We're excited to partner with Runa to expand our cashback offerings for our Australian customers," said Angus Muffet, General Manager of ShopBack. "New collaborations like this demonstrate our commitment to finding new and interesting ways to enhance the shopping experience for our users."
