Buy Local Spend Local is a regional program that connects Credit Union members to locally-owned businesses in the community, encouraging and rewarding members to not only BUY LOCAL, but to also SPEND LOCAL by using their Credit Union’s debit or credit card for purchases.
This unique program benefits local business owners, local Credit Unions and Credit Union members.
How Does it Work
Participating local businesses are listed, by category, on a customized, turnkey site. The credit union commits to reimbursing select, random transactions when members use their debit or credit card to patronize participating stores, restaurants, service providers, and other businesses.*
About Fort Community Credit Union
FCCU has been growing roots in Southeast Wisconsin since 1940 when employees of Moe Light, in Fort Atkinson, pooled their paychecks together to begin the credit union. Since then, the credit union has expanded by building branches in Jefferson, Watertown and Whitewater. Although our name has changed a few times since 1940, our commitment to our members has not. We are at all times invested in you, with you, for you.
As a credit union, we are a cooperative financial institution, and we base our decisions on our owners. Who owns the credit union? Our members do. Every member has the same share, the same say, no matter how much money is in your account. If you’re a member, you’re an owner — it’s as simple as that. We are community based and community focused. FCCU is here to help all our 22,000+ member-owners achieve their financial dreams. From a first credit card, to first home, to retirement; FCCU is invested in you, with you, for you, every step of the way.
Membership is open to anyone living or working in Dane, Dodge, Jefferson, Rock, Walworth, and Waukesha Counties. Become part of the FCCU family today!
