Hartford Bucks Program

The Hartford Bucks program was originally developed by the Hartford Area Development Foundation to encourage Hartford residents to support their local businesses. The no-hassle program encourages local spending and support of the Hartford community. Buying Hartford Bucks essentially allows people to purchase “gift certificates” that can be used at any Hartford business. Hartford Bucks can be purchased at First Interstate Bank by anyone and can be used around town.
