Keep your money in the neighborhood.
Our mission is to help you make a bigger impact on small businesses with every dollar you spend and invest.
We all know…
It’s important to shop local. Small businesses give our communities character, diversity, unique products, and even financial stability.
But did you know…
Small businesses get charged a 3% - 9% fee when you pay them with a credit card?* We know – that’s crazy!
So we built Backyard: a better way to shop local.
*Based on purchases of $5 to $25 and fees ranging from 2.6% + 10 cents to 2.9% + 30 cents
How can I use Backyard to help local businesses?
