Members add credits. They spend them on local food. Farms gain stable, trackable cash flow—backed by a clear reserve policy.
It’s simple for members, stabilizing for farms, and transparent for everyone. Credits are food-only, never cash—so dollars stay in the local food economy.
Members preload credits and spend on local food—clear statements, no cash-out.
Default 80% reserves with nightly sweeps. Policy engine prevents dips; everything reconciles daily.
Start with the wallet; add POS/accounting integrations later without changing member experience.
Card/ACH funds settle directly into the farm’s FBO Member Credits bank account. Wallet balance updates instantly.
Credits auto-apply at checkout online or at market. Refunds/expirations follow simple, published policies.
Nightly, the farm moves the non-reserved portion to operating cash; dashboards show reserves and exceptions.

Not a bank account. Community Credits is a software platform and ledger. Funds are held by each farm/co-op in its own FBO (“for-benefit-of members”) bank account.
