The Community Marketplace is a new initiative designed to connect local small businesses like yours with credit union members — a loyal and values-driven customer base.
This pilot program is powered by Goodbuy and made possible through a partnership with your credit union. It offers small businesses in the community a free and easy way to gain exposure and build relationships with thousands of local members who actively want to shop local.
As a participating business, you’ll be featured in a curated digital directory for credit union members. Every business in the marketplace offers a member-only perk — like a discount, free item, or other special deal — to reward members for supporting local.
Here's what participation means for you:
- Free exposure. There’s no cost to join the pilot.
- Local loyalty. Members are incentivized to shop with you using a Community Access Pass they store on their phone and show at checkout.
- Simple setup. You’ll provide a business description, contact info, photos, and your chosen offer — we take care of the rest.
- No complex tech. There’s no POS integration or new platform to learn. You and your staff simply recognize the Community Access Pass at checkout and apply the discount manually.
This is a short-term pilot — your participation and feedback will help shape how the program evolves in the future.
