Bristol Pound - the UK's largest local currency
Way out Economics 2022
On the 4th of October we’re bringing together new economy groups to share our learnings and create a forum to join up our thinking on how to tackle the growing challenges facing our economy and society.
The day will be split into sections, covering different ways to trade, different understandings of value, different forms of organisation and ownership and different ways to change thinking. Each section will have a few provocations, followed by open space discussions. The final section of the day will be an open space clinic to provide practical support and feedback to people facing challenges on their projects.
Partners include the Credit Commons Society and Venture Beyond.
Further updates to come, you can register your interest here.

Welcome!
Bristol Pound has changed. The team behind the UK’s largest local currency is building a new platform called Bristol Pay.
The Bristol Pound digital currency has ceased operation and Bristol Pound accounts have been closed. Any remaining funds have reverted to sterling and are being held in Bristol Credit Union accounts. Please contact Bristol Credit Union to access any unspent digital Bristol Pounds.
The 2018 edition of paper Bristol Pounds expired at the end of September 2021. It is not currently possible to join the scheme as a new member, and the deadline for reimbursements on expired notes has passed.
Bristol Pay
Bristol Pay will work in a very different way to Bristol Pound, and it won't even be all about money. You can read more about our vision for the future here. If you would like to be one of the first to join once the new platform is developed, sign up for the newsletter here.
If you have any further questions, please contact us on info@bristolpound.org
We look forward to welcoming you to Bristol Pay. Together we can create a greener, fairer and stronger local economy.
