DualCurrency
Systems - The growing global economic crisis bids us to revamp our
outdated financial systems and monetary tools. The solution lies where few
individuals and organizations are even looking; in the very nature of
money itself. Behind the illusion of scarce material and financial
resources, lies a reality of abundant renewable resources and a high-tech
global infrastructure to distribute them.
DualCurrency Systems (DCS) pursues sustainable global economic development
strategies through Money Innovation and next generation payment systems.
In 1997, the company was awarded two U.S. Patents for its novel
DualCurrency Pricing, Accounting and Transaction Settlement system. The
system manages transactions in a combination of U.S. dollars and noncash
financial instruments, such as loyalty rewards, barter dollars or business
scrip.
DCS has designed a DualCurrency payment system and Virtual Community
Warehouse to manage innovative incentive programs, including HealthBucks,
wellness incentives to lower employer and employee health care costs;
EcoBucks, sustainable living incentives, to reward behaviors such as
recycling, carpooling and alternative energy use; and Community Service
Dollars, volunteer incentives to promote healthy communities.
Because of challenges in raising money and getting its system into the
market, the company has put its two business methods patents for
restructuring the financial services industry into an auction to be held
on October 30, 2008 in Chicago. |
