Our most frequently asked questions

What is a barter exchange?

A barter exchange is a group of people who have agreed to accept trade dollars as currency instead of cash. In barter’s simplest form, two companies swap items of equivalent value.

Companies offer their products and services through an exchange and receive trade dollar revenue. They can use their new revenue to purchase items or services such as advertising, website design, travel, food, and so much more; all without paying cash!

How does Tradebank work?

Tradebank completes trades for its clients much like a clearinghouse or commercial bank would do for stocks or checks. As an intermediary, Tradebank receives a commission on each transaction and saves all parties the trouble and process of collection, exchange of goods, or matching. 

The transactions between companies are converted to barter credits or “trade dollars.” A single Trade Dollar is equal to one U.S. dollar in value and is reflected as balances in each company’s “trade account.” Each business is personally managed by a Trade Broker, who promotes the client’s business and assists with sourcing products and services.

Best of all, barter is a business tool that can be used by virtually every business owner, professional, or anyone that wants to conserve cash and increase profits.

In addition to managing a profitable Tradebank location, you’ll assist your clients in a number of ways.

You’ll also show clients how to conserve cash with trade dollars for both personal and professional use.

Tradebank is one of the world’s largest trade exchanges, helping clients from all sizes conserve cash and make their business more profitable.

Trade Brokers support the function of your Tradebank Franchise by continuously working with and promoting clients, determining their individual wants and needs, and assisting in “brokering” transactions for trades.

When two companies transact with one another, those transactions are converted into trade credits, or trade dollars. Each client’s trade dollars are reflected as a balance in their trading account. Clients can offer their products and services in exchange for trade dollars, and then they can spend those trade dollars with any other participating Tradebank member. 

Tradebank brings a whole new dimension to traditional bartering.
