"Time as Currency: Meet the Time Traders"
TimeRepublik, an online time banking platform, allows users to exchange services without financial payment by earning "TimeCoin" credits. The platform has more than 100,000 users worldwide and is free to use for members of the public. Time banking has been around since the 19th century, but TimeRepublik aims to bring it to a younger, more digitally-savvy audience. Other organizations, such as Timebanking UK and Tempo Time Credits, also offer time banking schemes to help communities and organizations across the UK set up their own time-banking schemes.
