Buoy Local® Rewards

Reward yourself. Rewire the local economy.

Buoy Local® is a mobile app-based rewards program that rewards users for shopping locally with rewards points to redeem and spend at participating locally-owned businesses, keeping more money in our communities. To get started, simply link your Bangor Savings Bank Debit Mastercard® to the Buoy Local app¹. If you don't have a Bangor Savings Bank Debit Mastercard, you can open up a checking account online to have a debit card directly mailed to you or at your local Maine or New Hampshire Bangor Savings Bank branch to receive your debit card instantly². Once you download the Buoy Local app¹ and connect your card, you can begin earning rewards points at your favorite local spots!

When you make a purchase at a participating business, simply use your card as you typically would at the register, over the phone, or on their online storefront. All Buoy Local Businesses offer 1 point for every $1 spent. You can find all participating businesses in the Buoy Local app¹ or our online directory. Rewards points can be redeemed for “Buoy Bucks” (100 points = $1), which will then be refunded to your linked card the next time you shop at a participating business.
