Welcome to the website of Wairarapa Green Dollars.

The mission of the Wairarapa Green Dollar Exchange Inc is to facilitate the exchange of local goods and services amongst the Wairarapa community, using a complementary mutual credit currency. Our aim is to strengthen local community and social climate.

The Exchange began in 1991 offering a LETS service to members. Markets were held in members gardens every month or so and "chits" (cheques) collected and processed by an administrator on a computer database.

In 2006 the Exchange joined CES and moved the database on-line where members can logon and enter their own transactions and maintain their own lists of offerings and wants.

In 2008 the Exchange launched the WAIS Voucher Scheme. These Vouchers enable the whole Wairarapa Community the   opportunity to use a community currency.
