Buy Lokyl is a regional program that connects Kentucky Credit Union members to locally-owned businesses in the community. Members are encouraged and rewarded to not only shop local, but to spend local by using their Credit Union’s debit card for purchases.
This unique program, brought to you by the Kentucky’s Credit Unions, benefits local business owners, local Credit Unions and Credit Union members.
How it Works
Participating locally-owned businesses throughout Kentucky are listed by category. Participating Credit Unions commit to rewarding members who patronize participating stores, restaurants, service providers, and other businesses and pay using their Credit Union card. This could be done by offering cash back on purchases at local businesses, selecting and reimbursing random member transactions conducted at local businesses or other reward methods.
How to Participate
Listing your business on the Buy Lokyl site is a free courtesy for you! Any business with local ownership in Kentucky is eligible to participate. This includes franchisees of national chains.
You may even offer an incentive or discount to participating Credit Union members. There are no minimum expectations for these special offers, but the more generous the offer, the more appealing it will be to members. These discounts or incentives are only provided to members when they use their participating Credit Union debit card for purchases.
Kentucky’s Credit Unions is an association of credit unions operating in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. It is a non-profit corporation owned and controlled by member credit unions through their elected representatives and is solely supported by the dues of its member credit unions. The Kentucky league is one of many such leagues serving credit unions in every state of the United States.
