How Bartercard Works

A Bartercard transaction works in a similar way to a debit or credit card transaction except it uses ‘trade pounds’, an alternative currency.

For accounting and tax purposes, one trade pound (T£1) is the equivalent of one Great British Pound (GBP£1) as recognised by HMRC.

When a Bartercard member ‘sells’ goods or services, they are credited with trade pounds to their Bartercard member account.

Why bartercard in business?

Are you searching for How Bartercard Works and why you have to use barter in business? So you can get all the answers of your questions there. Business owners love bartering because it saves them cash; moves excess stock or idle inventory and fills up their downtime or spare capacity. Chances are you have conducted a one-to-one barter deal in the past and the outcome was win-win.

However, while these traditional barter deals can be effective, they lack flexibility, which limits how often they may occur. The challenge with a direct one-on-one barter is you might want something that one business has but they may not want what you have. By creating a currency of trade pounds you can trade conveniently with tens of thousands of members worldwide.
