THE NUTS & BOLTS OF TRADE
Our TradeFirst community buys and sells goods and services from each other without using cash or traditional banks. Instead, our members use TradeFirst TradeDollars, which are equivalent to U.S. dollars.
When you make sales, TradeDollars are deposited into your account. Then you can make purchases from any other member business using your TradeDollars.
Across the United States, half a million businesses are involved in barter or trade exchanges. TradeFirst can help you:
- Grow a new customer base, increasing sales and building profits
- Convert downtime and idle inventory into new revenue
- Conserve cash by using TradeDollars for routine expenses
- Find new, pre-vetted, trustworthy companies to trust with your business
- Discover new dining, travel, and entertainment experiences
