Distribute earmarked support

Allocate support that is spent on what it is meant for. You define where and how it can be used: geographic area, eligible brands and shops, spending categories, authorised websites… then you track each use.

Who it is for : Local authorities, social organisations, charities

Example · back-to-school support

200 families

Illustrative animation: the local authority pays in €60,000 in a single transfer. MAP distributes €300 to each of the families’ 200 MAP electronic money accounts, with an IBAN and an e-card. For the new school year, a family pays by card or QR code at an authorised stationer, clothing shop and website: each payment is checked against the authority’s rules and the balance goes from €300 to €204. A cash withdrawal is declined. Every payment is traced for the authority’s monitoring. Amounts are examples.

Illustrative example: amounts, users, rules and duration are set to suit your project.

How the euros flow

Follow the euros, from funding to payment

A local authority must allocate €300 to each of the 200 families it supports for their children’s new school year. It earmarks the support for the planned spending: supplies, clothing and equipment, at local shops and the brands and websites it has selected.

What you gain

Support that goes straight where it should

Every euro you allocate is spent on what you planned, at the shops you chose, and you can report on it with full transparency.

For the local authority

You decide, MAP applies

  • Set your rules: geographic area, shops and brands, spending categories, authorised websites.
  • Fund the whole operation with a single transfer: MAP credits each family.
  • Rule out off-target spending: every payment is checked before it is accepted, and a cash withdrawal is declined.
  • Report with full transparency: allocations, balances and spending by category in real time, every payment traced on the blockchain.

For your families

Back-to-school paid for, nothing upfront

  • An account with an IBAN and an e-card, ready to use straight away.
  • Simple payment by card or QR code, in store or on authorised websites.
  • Supplies, clothing and equipment paid for directly, without paying upfront.
  • Three months to shop at their own pace.

For your shops

A sale like any other

  • They take the support by card or QR code, like any other sale.
  • No supporting documents to provide: the check happens before payment.
  • The support is spent with them, in your area: it keeps local business going.
