In honor of November's shopping season, Bank Hapoalim has launched the "Shop Local" initiative in collaboration with Wolt. This program enables the bank’s customers participating in the Poalim Wonder rewards program to support local businesses by purchasing a voucher valued at NIS 40 for 50 points. The voucher can be redeemed at a wide range of small and medium-sized Israeli businesses across the Wolt platform, including bakeries, delis, butcher shops, and greengrocers nationwide, excluding restaurants and supermarkets.

"We are proud to lead an initiative that combines digital convenience with support for local businesses," said Galit Dubin, manager of Poalim Wonder. "This campaign reflects our commitment to supporting small businesses across the country and providing advanced digital services to our customers."
