Last month we had a fabulous speaker discussing digital BerkShares. We thought we would share this information: Excitement is building around the new BerkShares mobile payment app! We've been approached by several media outlets eager to share this precedent-setting story. Digital BerkShares combines the economic benefits and community values embedded in our local currency with a convenient, cost-effective scan-to-pay capability only for our region's businesses. If you haven't already, register to accept digital BerkShares at your local business to be prepared for the public debut. The beta version is now available for download for local businesses and can be set up on your mobile or tablet device. Sign up by scanning this QR code or download the app now from the App Store or Google Play to get started. (Note that, with the core payment and security functionality is all in place, we're still fine-tuning aspects of the user experience; your feedback as a business is helpful at this stage.) Thanks to the generosity of a donor, each user to download the app and link their bank account gets 10 bonus BerkShares. Another donor has offered an additional 10 BerkShare bonus to food related businesses and their staff (think: farms, restaurants, value-added producers). Need assistance? Reach out to us at info@berkshares.org or (413) 528-1737 to schedule an in-person appointment to set up your app. Bookkeeping resources for small businesses can be found here.
Thank you again for your interest and participation in BerkShares! We look forward to working with you and your business in the months to come. Warmly,
Rachel Moriarty
