Every Penny Counts
When you open a Free Community Checking account, you become a part of our giveback plan. you’re doing more than choosing where to bank—you’re joining a movement that gives back. Every time a member swipes their Maps debit card, we donate a penny from that transaction—at no cost to you—to local programs and causes that make Oregon stronger.
Since 2012, those pennies have added up to more than $1 million in community support, funding everything from classroom grants to small-business growth. The Maps Community Foundation carries that mission forward by investing in education, economic empowerment, and community vibrancy.
Here, you’ll find stories about the people and projects that bring this work to life—and how every swipe helps make a difference.
