"Black-Owned"?
- Why Is Cashback Only Offered for Black-Owned Businesses?
- CashBlack was established after years of research and development found that there was a direct correlation between the socioeconomic impacts of racism and the lack of support for Black-owned businesses. We found that the most effective way to combat this issue was to create a way to incentivize patronage in these businesses and have the retailers invest back into the patrons. As such, the retailers on CashBlack are all businesses who identify as "Black-owned", but we welcome everyone to join CashBlack and support Black-owned businesses.
- What Does CashBlack Define as a Black-Owned Business?
- CashBlack's definition of Black-owned allows its retail partners to identify as such.
- Can Anyone Join CashBlack?
- CashBlack is open to everyone over 18 years of age.

In general, cashback will be credited to your CashBlack account once it has been approved by the retailer.
- How Do I Withdraw Cashback?
- You can withdraw your cashback to your PayPal account, or by donating it to one of our affiliated goodwill causes. The minimum cashout is $10. Within 7 days of your request.
