Are trade credits a cryptocurrency?
No. Trade credits are exchange-value tokens backed by real hotel inventory — not speculative assets or consumer currency.

Steps
4
Four steps connect your empty rooms to advertising reach and local social return.
Step 1 — Agree Your Spare Capacity
BushidoPay works with you to identify unsold room bookings and set a fair value exchange before the date arrives. Nothing expires at zero. Every agreed night becomes a credit.
Step 2 — Issue Trade Credits on the Blockchain
- Immutable record of every issuance and redemption — no disputes, no ambiguity.
- Live balance and transaction visibility for all participants.
- Built-in controls to prevent over-issuance and maintain ledger integrity.
Step 3 — Run Your Billboard Campaigns
BushidoPay deploys campaigns via i-media's digital signboards at motorway service stations and A-road locations, reaching 6.3 million viewers weekly. You create your own messaging and control timing, subject to i-media T&C's. Accumulate credits for bigger, longer campaigns.
Step 4 — Recycle Credits, Fund Good Causes
BushidoPay may sell rooms as a service, direct proceeds to local social causes, and keep credits in circulation so campaigns never stop.

Common Questions
How does HMRC treat trade credits?
Trade credits are recognised at face value and secured against repurchased inventory under BushidoPay's operating model.
What happens if we don't use all our credits?
Credits stay visible in the ledger and can be rolled into ongoing campaign activity whenever you're ready.
How are local charities selected?
You nominate a charity of your choice, or BushidoPay selects one with proven local impact. Either way, the allocation is transparent on the ledger.
How do fees compare to traditional exchanges?
BushidoPay is structured for lower-fee, simpler economics — no monthly fees, no setup cost. You only benefit when we perform.
