About Facebook Places
Through Facebook Places, users can “check in” and
share locations they are visiting with friends and
connections. Businesses can “claim” their
locations and reward users for checking in.
We need your help to determine if your branch is
already listed on Facebook Places, and if not, setting
up the location.
What you need:
• A Facebook account
• A mobile device with Facebook application
(Note: If you have a Droid, you will need to install the Facebook application from the Droid Marketplace,
rather than use the the app that came with the phone).
• Access to Facebook from a computer (non-mobile device)
