LETS Lending

LETS Invest

Interest-free credit is a central belief in the LETS movement. It should be possible for the people within the exchange to have access to a predetermined amount of credit that is available to every one and that allow people to start consuming the goods and services available within the community without having been able to sell their own goods or services yet. Some organizations now take this a step further and allow personal loans to its members. These loans are not always interest free but are always very cheap. Read more about LETS lending here.

Welcome to LETS Europe

You are here: Home

Welcome to the new website! This site is a tool for the European (or maybe even for the International) LETS community. The goal with this website is to make it easier to run LETS Communities around Europe and to help invigorate our once flourishing movements. To be able to do this we will need to move the LETS movement into the modern world with the use of more technology and by adapting our philosophy to allow it to do maximal good in our communities as they are today.

Please note that most of my LETS Experience comes from Sweden and the UK. Many of my example will therefore be based on LETS communities in these two countries. If you want to contact me to suggest a suitable example from another country then you are very welcome to do so.
