How does it work?
Signing up is simple and requires no new terminals or software. Buoy Local users link their Bangor Savings Bank Debit Mastercard® to the Buoy Local app* to earn points on all their purchases made at participating Buoy Local Businesses. If someone doesn’t have a Bangor Savings Bank Debit Card, they can still be a part of the Buoy Local program by linking any U.S. issued debit or credit card to their Buoy Local account and use a Buoy Local Card to earn rewards.
Customers are encouraged to visit your business via the Buoy Local app*, our social media posts, and the Buoy Local sticker on your front door. They will transact using a physical card which you can process using your POS system as you currently do.

Customers Spend More Money More Often
