Mutual Credit Clearing

A multilateral settlement system where debits and credits between exchange members are netted against each other rather than requiring direct bilateral settlement. IRTA's Universal Currency (UC) uses mutual credit clearing to connect over 100 barter exchanges globally, recording $14.5 million in inter-exchange barter transactions in its peak year (2017). SkillLedger's credit system operates on similar mutual credit principles.
