The six-step model

From signup to reported results

This page explains the operating logic without turning it into a legal agreement, investor pitch, or partner contract.

Join your city

Spend on everyday needs

Use the HIT Card anywhere debit and credit are accepted. Nothing about how you shop has to change.

Generate program revenue

A portion of program revenue from everyday card activity is allocated for the participating city.

Build the city impact fund

City participation, cardholder use, merchants, and sponsors help build a local impact pool.

Fund local priorities

Funds can support projects such as parks, mobility, youth programs, neighborhood improvements, and local commerce.

Report results

Impact is communicated back to the community so residents can see what participation is helping build.

Who participates

A city network, not a solo product

The card works best when residents, merchants, operators, and community organizations each play a clear role.

Cardholders

Residents and supporters join through their city and use the card for normal everyday spending.

Local merchants

Businesses gain visibility with a program built around local spending and community impact.

City partners

Approved operators help activate the local market, merchants, sponsors, and cardholder demand.

Strategic partners

Chambers, associations, sponsors, and community groups help extend trust and distribution.
