The local social currency is used as a strategy to guarantee the financial circulation inside the community. These tools aims to generate local economic development in a very original way, by protecting the financial resources generated locally. Other innovations are a partnership with Banco do Brazil (the largest bank in Brazil), which makes possible the offer of bank services to Banco Palmas (bank account, credit receivables, pension, bill payments, among others) and the use of a sophisticated software for finance management, leveraging the activities of this community bank.
