SESLOC Credit Union loves supporting its community — it’s in the credit union’s DNA. In addition, the credit union knows its members love their neighborhood businesses, too.

In 2025, the credit union’s member-owners earned 1.7 million SESLOC Rewards points at Local Rewards businesses alone.

Just in time for 2026, even more businesses have teamed up with SESLOC to offer more rewards for its members’ everyday shopping. Whether they’re looking for a new dining experience or shopping for sustainable retro threads, Local Rewards has them covered.
