Local Heroes was specifically developed to assist locally owned businesses and provide opportunities to strengthen the bonds between small business and surrounding communities. Local Heroes is available only to locally owned businesses, a franchise can participate as long as it maintains local ownership. Participating merchants simply download their existing countertop terminal, most of which are already compatible with the Local Heroes software. 

Program transactions can also be tracked on existing point of sale equipment utilizing the MasterCard, VISA or Debit/Maestro networks.  Virtually any countertop terminal or electronic cash register that accepts MasterCard or Visa can participate in routing a program transaction.  Learn More | Sign Up Now | Press Release
