Locals Shop Local is a regional program that connects FAFCU members to locally-owned businesses in the community, encouraging and rewarding members to SHOP LOCALLY by using their FAFCU debit card for purchases.
This unique program benefits local business owners and credit union members.
How Does it Work
Participating local businesses are listed, by category, on our Locals Shop Local site. The credit union commits to reimbursing select, random transactions when members use their debit card to patronize participating stores, restaurants, service providers, and other businesses.*
