The North Coast Community Exchange (NCCE) is a Local Exchange Trading System for the community living on the North Coast of Northern Ireland. The group was launched in February 2022 with just a handful of friends. Today you can trade with people in Coleraine, Portrush, Portstewart, Ballymoney, Ballycastle, Derry/Donegal.

This is a marketplace where goods and services are exchanged. The system is based on mutual credit: if you get something from someone, you commit to provide something for someone else in the network. When there is a transaction between 2 people, there is an acknowledgement that something has happened, with a payment using the Waves community currency instead of pound sterling or euros. No Cash is required and there are no membership fees.

If you would like to experience trading without using pound sterling, click on the Join button above and sign up for an account. You will be able to start trading immediately; there is no need to earn 'currency' first. Whatever you receive, you 'pay' for it by doing or giving something to someone else.
