As a Chamber Member, what do I do with Red Oak Bucks when a customer wants to spend them in my business? How do I train my employees/staff on how to accept Red Oak Bucks as payment from a customer:

  • Check to see if they are valid Red Oak Bucks
    • The Red Oak Buck(s) is ONLY valid with the signature of Elaine Carlson stamped on the Chamber Representative Signature line. If the signature is not there, the Red Oak Buck(s) are not valid.
    • On the front of the Red Oak Buck, there is a bank routing number, account number, and Red Oak Buck number across the bottom like a check.
  • The customer will need to sign on the back of the Red Oak Buck.
  • Also, on the back are “Instructions for Merchant”. That is you!
  • For reimbursement, endorse the back(s), as you would if you were to deposit a customer check. You will deposit them as a regular deposit with your bank. DO NOT process the Red Oak Bucks electronically at the time of a purchase.
