Tradebank

Tradebank is a franchised barter exchange, headquarted in Atlanta, Georgia, United States, promoting a wide range of products and services through the opportunity to barter throughout North America. Each member earns the retail value of their product/service in "trade dollars." One trade dollar being equal to one U.S. dollar. As trade dollars accumulate in the account, members are then able to spend their trade dollars with any member for any product or service. This eliminates the limited one-on-one or direct trading dilemmas:

Trade dollars earned continue to accumulate in the account for members to spend as needed.

History

Tradebank International was founded in 1987 in the United States, and started franchising in 1995. In 1996, Tradebank expanded internationally by beginning operations of Tradebank Canada, which now operates 28 offices - currently the largest trade network in Canada: Tradebank Czech Republic in 1998 and Tradebank Slovakia in 1999.

In 2004, Brian Smith of Greenville, South Carolina was awarded the "Rookie of the Year", and has continued to expand this territory. Under his leadership the client base of Tradebank of Greenville has tripled in size.

As of early 2007, the fastest growing franchised region was located in Louisville, Kentucky and operated by Regional Owner Roger Williams. Referred to locally as "Kentuckiana Tradebank," this region was also honored by being nominated for the prestigious Jeffersontown Chamber of Commerce "Best of our Members" awards in two categories: New Member Business of the Year and Entrepreneur of the Year for Roger Williams.

The phenomenal growth of Tradebank International continues into 2008 charged with re-newed energy from the franchised region of Charlotte, NC/ Rock Hill, SC. Given Tradebank's Business Excellence and a membership compiled of savvy business owners, the Charlotte /Rock Hill area has now stepped ahead in growth. The small but hard-working, dedicated staff of this region is committed to the success of every one of its member businesses. Client Manager, Vicki Carnes has raised the bar, setting new standards regarding assistance to small business owners, belief in the Tradebank bartering system, and more.
