The Corrency project in Aš has revitalised the local economy and strengthened the purchasing power of the citizens. Thanks to the town hall, citizens were able to use the contributions to support local businesses and save up to 50% on goods and services.
“It helped us a lot with buying gifts for our son for Christmas. And also being able to afford what we couldn't when my wife is on maternity leave and I'm working and we don't have much money available so this has made to welcome this project even more. Thank you so much for this."
“I saw the Corrency project as a success and I would like to thank them for this experience and I believe that this way of supporting local businesses is important and beneficial."

“People come and go more because even though they can spend these corrents at any registered store, there is still a lot of kids. There are even 10 customers a day who come here and pay with the corrents."
“Customers come in, pay with Corrency, or have dinner here and sit. The project has a response, you can see it. A text is sent, you get the info about your balance right away and how much is left to pay."
"I really like the Corrency project. Unfortunately, many mayors don't know about the project yet. I especially like it because it is a help that can be specifically targeted.. I don't like grants very much, they are expensive to administer and control, fees often accounting for up to 35% of the total amount. In the case of Corrency, which in a way is also a form of subsidy, it is only 7%. But it is a specific help, where the citizen decides for themselves which business to buy goods or services from."
