NOTICE: Greenbacks to Greenbucks

The Greenfield Greenbacks program is changing.  The former greenbacks will expire December 31 to launch a new program called Greenbucks.  This measure is to ensure better management and tracking of the fund.  The new Greenbucks will be available for sale starting December 14.  Denominations will be sold in $5 and $20 increments only.  The Greenbuck is processed/ deposited by the business just like a check drawn off our Greenbuck Account.  We anticipate a smooth transition.  Please call the office if you have questions or run into a problem. 641-743-8444
