After hearing so much about it, you too have decided to participate in the State cashback, the initiative promoted by the 2022no government to incentivize payments with electronic systems in physical stores by issuing refunds of up to 300 euros per year. Not having communicated your IBAN when activating the Cashback, you tried to insert it later via theIO app: all your attempts, however, did not give the desired result and now you no longer know where to turn your head to succeed in your intent.
If things are exactly as I have just described, let me explain how to enter IBAN on app IO. In the next paragraphs of this guide, in fact, you will find the detailed procedure to indicate the current account on which to receive any accumulated refund, both during the activation phase of the Cashback and at a later time. Furthermore, it will be my job to provide you with all the information you need to change your IBAN and, in case of problems, also to request assistance from the IO team.
If that's what you wanted to know, let's not go any further and see how to proceed. All you have to do is get comfortable, set aside five minutes of free time and dedicate yourself to reading the next paragraphs. By carefully following the instructions I am about to give you and trying to put them into practice, I assure you that you will be able to add your IBAN in the IO app. Happy reading and good luck for everything!

Preliminary information
Prima di entrare nel vivo di questo tutorial and spiegarti nel dettaglio how to enter IBAN on app IO, let me give you some preliminary information in this regard.
First of all, it might be useful to know that the IO app, available for Android and iPhone / iPad devices, allows you to interact with various services of the Public Administration (e.g. the payment of the car tax or the holiday bonus) and, above all, of participate in the State cashback.
The latter is a government initiative that allows all citizens to obtain a refund of 10% up to a maximum of 300 euros / year (150 euros / semester) on purchases made with cards and electronic systems in physical stores (therefore not online), provided that at least 50 traceable payments are made per semester (however suspended after the first semester, at the end of June 2022). For more information, I invite you to consult my guide on how Government Cashback works.
In order to participate and obtain any accumulated refund, it is first necessary to carry out some operations.
- Download the IO app on your device;
- Log in via SPID (Public Digital Identity System) or CIE (Electronic Identity Card);
- Activate the State Cashback from the section Our customers;
- Communicate your own IBAN;
- Add i payment methods (e.g. credit / debit cards, prepaid cards, etc.) used to carry out transactions in physical stores.
As for the IBAN, it can be added during the activation of the Cashback or at a later time, as long as it is done within the current semester. In both cases, the person communicating the IBAN must be the current account holder. However, I point out that two Cashback participants can communicate it same IBAN code if they are joint account holders. Also, you might find it useful to know that you are also allowed to enter the IBAN code associated with a prepaid card.
Finally, you must know that some electronic payment services (eg. Satispay ed Enel X-Pay), allow you to register for the State Cashback directly from your application (therefore without necessarily using the IO app) and to obtain credit for any refund on the IBAN associated with your account. In this case, if the IO app is also used, the IBAN in question will be automatically added to the section Our customers of the app in question. Is everything clear so far? Well, then let's take action.
