Use the tool below to find local businesses that are open and need your support, because #WhereYouShopMatters.
The Visa Business Locator Tool below, identifies businesses that have recently processed a Visa transaction, so we believe they are open for some level of business. The tool is updated on a daily basis to reflect Visa transactions that have been processed in the last 24 hours. So next time you’re shopping, whether it’s for groceries, supplies, or an online class, think about shopping at a local business.
Business Locator Tool
How it works
Enter your city and region in the tool below. You can filter by business type, business size, and business name, then click the search button.
Please note: All the information in this tool, which lists businesses identified by Visa to have recently accepted a Visa transaction, is provided “as is” and without any warranty or representation of any kind or any assurances that such businesses are open. For the small businesses, the information has been filtered for small businesses based on official Government tables (Small Business Administration or SBA guidelines) and users should communicate directly with merchants to verify accuracy. Results returned by this table are not to be considered an exhaustive list of merchants capable of providing services to an affected area and that other merchants may be in operation and serving an affected area. This tool is for informational purposes only, and does not imply endorsement or affiliation of any merchant by Visa. Visa assumes no liability or responsibility for (i) any errors or omissions in the content, or (ii) claims that may result from reliance by a user on such information.
We are working to expand and grow the database in the coming weeks. If you’re not seeing a business in your community included in the results, please let us know. Email the business name, street address, city and state, and business website, if available, to [email protected]. Once we are able to verify the business, we’ll work to get that business added. Similarly, if a business is included and you’d like it removed from search results please email the details to the above address.
Please note: Submitting a business to the above email address does not guarantee that the business will be added to the results.

Duncan’s Brewing Co.
Duncan's Brewing produces some of New Zealand's finest craft beers. Whilst George is the front of house, the business is proudly family owned and run on the North Island’s Kāpiti Coast. For a micro-brewery such as Duncan's, the open house cellar door is just as important as its online store. In these challenging times the balance has tipped to a more online focus and shipping their product nationwide.
