Transcription
Founding
Bartercard was founded in 1991 on the Gold Coast, Australia by Wayne Sharpe, Brian Hall, and Andrew Federowsky. Bartercard has a presence in eight countries (Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, United Kingdom, United States, Thailand, United Arab Emirates, and Cyprus) where 75 offices service approximately 34,000 cardholders worldwide who collectively barter-trade over $600m each year. [3] In 2007, Bartercard Australia was sold in a management buyout.[4]
Description
Members earn Bartercard[5] Trade Dollars[6] / Pounds for the goods and services they sell, and this value is recorded electronically in the member’s account database or goes towards repaying the credit that the member may have used.
For calculating taxation liability, the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) treats one Bartercard Trade Dollar the same way that it treats one Australian Dollar.[7]
Evaluation
Bartercard is not based on barter but on local currency. The trade is limited and mainly serves to attract new customers, increase sales, and offer networking opportunities [8]
