What are Trade Dollars?

Trade Dollars are just like cash and for that matter are based on regular currency. One US Dollar = One Trade Dollar. Trade dollars are a unique monetary unit that give your business buying power in our network of over 14,000 participating IMS member trade companies.

It’s important that your trade dollar is well respected and stable. To ensure the value of your trade dollar, the system that they reside in must be economically stable and properly managed. IMS provides that system! For more than 40 years IMS has dedicated itself to building the IMS Barter ecosystem. We have steadily grown the network through expansion and acquisition and know what it takes to ensure the long-term stability of a trade network. Our experience and expertise guarantees that trade dollars earned will retain their value.

As long as you remain a member, your trade dollars never expire, never lose value or buying power.

What people say

"Mosaic Hair Studio has been in business since 2004, and we have partnered with International Monetary Systems since the beginning. Initially, we used IMS to help us gain new clients and for marketing, but as our business grew and we expanded locations, we have used IMS for a host of services in our buildout and ongoing maintenance of our salons. We considered IMS and my barter broker, Melissa Birmele, an invaluable resource and trusted advisor. As we continue to grow locations, I know IMS will be there to help us manage our cash flow."
