In plain words

Offset is a credit card that operates on a trust-based system between users. Launched in 2020, it allows people to build credit through peer-to-peer lending relationships rather than traditional banking requirements. The service is designed for individuals who want to establish or improve their credit history by borrowing from and lending to others within the Offset network. It combines credit-building with community-based financial interactions, making it suitable for those looking for alternative approaches to traditional credit systems.
