What Parity is all about
Parity means equal, and that’s what we’re here for: to level the playing field for small businesses like us.
Whether it’s the zero-interest credit in our local currency, access to our marketplace or our simple app.
We’re here to put spending power into the hands of local business owners.
Our Values
Clear
We’ll keep it simple & transparent so you know what you’re getting, what we’re doing
and why it matters.
Cooperative
We’re not here to disrupt the system, consider us part of the fabric helping however we can
our local community.
Considerate
We support local companies and operate a members first and Parity second mentality;
we can’t exist without you.
Curious
We promise never to utter the words “that’s the way it’s always been done” or stop looking for better ways of doing what we do.
