Credibles empowers communities to take control of their economic fate.
By issuing their own credits, small/medium businesses can strengthen their connections with customers and business partners. Via mobile apps and online solutions, businesses can accept and manage prepayments, gift cards, and trade accounts.
When the customers redeem their “edible credits” for purchases, they pay with their name, using their (prepaid) tab, like at Cheers. Easy, convenient, personal.
The startup is located in San Francisco and grounded at the intersection of financial innovation, sharing economy, and food systems.
If you eat,
you’re an investor.
