Community Gold
Program
Information & Guidelines
What's the
Purpose of
the Program?
The Community Gold Program is all about supporting the sustainability of local business and service providers. Its purpose is to increase local spending and what's not to love about that?
How does the
Program
Work?
We distribute Community Gold cards in $10 and $20 denominations through not-for-profit local clubs and organisations as part of our Community Investment Program.
These cards are distributed by the organisations amongst their members for specific purposes.
Businesses bank the redeemed Community Gold cards as cash.
The cards can be redeemed at participating businesses as an accepted form of payment. The terms and conditions of use are on the card.
Who can
Apply?
Businesses
Any local retailer or service provider can apply to be a non-exclusive Community Gold participant. View the full list here.
You must be operating a registered business (holding an ABN) operating within our local Buninyong area.
You do need to hold (or open) a business deposit account with Community Bank Buninyong. This is purely for administration purposes and for Community Gold cards to be banked as cash.
If at some stage you decide the program is no longer for you, let us know and we will remove you from the participant list.
If your business comes into disrepute (at our discretion) you will be removed from the program immediately.
