Yes, in addition to the standard medals, the Red Army had monetary awards given to soldiers who destroyed a German tank. These awards predate the Battle of Kursk. Stalin's order to create a special distinction between regular and anti-tank artillery also introduced a reward: 500 rubles to the commander and gunner, 200 rubles each to the rest of the gun crew. The same payout applied to tank crews.

Financial incentives weren't anything unusual in the Red Army. For example, recovery and repair of damaged tanks could also result in a payout.
