And much more to come, such as voting systems, SMS notifications and more.

Easily send local tokens unrelated to commercial transactions to friends and family instantly and without fees.

Easily locate and buy goods and services in the community when Kenyan Shillings are not available - with no transaction fees and verification in seconds.

Advertise on a community marketplace to get wider awareness of their goods.

Exchange their Bangla-Pesa for Ng’ombeni-Pesa (another neighboring community currency that couldn’t be easily converted to before.)

Keep a digital record of transactions which are stored securely on the blockchain.

Trade any amount of Bangla-Pesa (we never had below a 5 paper denomination due to cost of printing.)

Creating a currency takes a few minutes. All you have to do is specify your token supply and decide which tokens to connect it to in your network.

We have the security of the blockchain - meaning that the ledger of transactions and the supply of community currency tokens are in a safe, decentralized place - distributed across the Internet and transparent for all to see.

Designing a customized currency just became much much easier: economic incentives, taxation, demurrage, community funds, voting systems and more can be built directly on the Bancor Liquid Token smart contract.

The cost to develop a community currency has dropped to training and implementation - rather than the cumbersome and costly process of printing paper vouchers or paying service fees and licences to digital providers.
