>People who manage the 10,000 steps are granted a rate of 21% on their savings. Anyone who fails to walk the walk for three days in a row will see their rate slump to 11%.

Does anybody actually expect to get the money when they decide to cash out ?

21% is not an insane interest rate for UAH. Normal market rate is currently around 19%.
I don't understand how the bank can afford to pay out a 21% interest rate.
Probably because local currency. Different currencies have different inflation rates.
1. Monobank != Ukraine bank

2. Monobank[0] IS "internet bank"/subdivision of real ukrainian Universal Bank[1] that since 2017 bought and operated by TAS Group[2], affiliated with ukrainian oligarch Sergiy Tigipko[3].

So in other words it is a Ukraine bank, just like the title says...
No, it's NOT a bank in any way.
Is is currently 17%, not 21% (dropping to 15% if conditions are not met) according to what I see in Monobank app.
