BENEFITS AND ADVANTAGES OF COMPLEMENTARY CURRENCIES FOR BUSINESSES

The main benefits and advantages of complementary currencies include:

Lower monetary costs

(compared to official currencies)

Facilitated access to credit

(often interest-free)

Increased sales

(due to the increased purchasing power for people and networking with other member companies)

More than an alternative, complementary currencies represent an opportunity! By reinterpreting the role of money and creating a new balance between creditors and debtors, they prove that another economic model is possible!

OUR VISION IS BUILT AS A FUNCTION OF THE NEW ECONOMIC NEEDS OF GOODS AND SERVICES IN MODERN ITALIAN SOCIETY

Despite centuries of evolution and change, money has always played a fundamental role in economic and social life. However, today’s economic difficulties increasingly appear on the front pages of newspapers. Small and medium-sized companies encounter difficulties due to the lack of credit (€116 billion less credit from 2012 to 2018 according to estimates from the Bank of Italy) and many families struggle to make it to the end of the month.

Solutions such as complementary currencies must therefore be found to breathe life into the economies of depressed territories. Traditional banks no longer appear able to fulfill the functions of economic development. In this situation, complementary currencies could be precisely the thing to relaunch the real economy using unconventional methods.

The European Community does not currently allow the use of complementary currencies or digital currencies other than the euro to sell or purchase products and services. In the future, however, this could become a real necessity rather than just a vain hope.
