[P2P-F] mutual credit clearing, TBEx / GETS in Aberdeen

[Michel Bauwens]

Thomas, what do you know and think about this?

Michel


"Richard Logie and Linda Sim own and operate a B2B credit clearing system
called The Business Exchange (TBEx) in Aberdeen, Scotland. They established
TBEx in 1995. Together they share a philosophy that has always been based on
quality, governance of procedures, and the power of mutual ownership. They
applied their knowledge and experience of strict controls and good business
practices to run TBEx. These principles have ensured the sustainability of
the TBEx Exchange system and the retention of the local client base in
Scotland. The TBEx currency is respected, stable and does not suffer from
inflation.

Richard and Linda became aware of complimentary currency systems and engaged
and collaborated with various systems in the U.K., Europe, and the U.S.
Their work and experience with such systems led them to see the need for an
evolutionary approach to promoting sustainable practices with technology
that supports them. That approach is GETS Plus.

The Global Exchange Trading Systems (GETS technology for credit clearing)
was launched in 2006. It is a multi-functional transaction software platform
that supports an online computerized marketplace for non-cash, mutual credit
transactions and also has components to facilitate multi-currency forms,
including loyalty programs."
