What makes our system so simple to use?

In addition to integrating with a member’s current financial system, there are a number of other aspects of Bartercard that make its accounting processes simple to use.

When considering business finances, members treat funds in the same way they would cash. There are no special tax considerations when using Bartercard. This means when funds are in a Bartercard account, tax is paid in the same way it is for a cash amount in a normal bank account.

Similarly, the accounting treatment of assets bought on Bartercard is identical to assets bought in cash. The depreciation rates and methods remain the same.

A staff account is an ideal opportunity for business owners who want to divide up personal and business spending or use for staff incentives and bonus payments.

How does this benefit Bartercard members?

We understand what matters most to business owners – increasing cash flow, and growing your business. Simply set up Bartercard as another bank account in your system, allowing you to focus on what is more important in your business.

Bartercard works supplementary to cash business. At no point is any member obligated to take on Bartercard business over cash-paying business, giving them complete control. All members also have the ability to choose which products and services they sell through the Bartercard network, and they can adjust offers to the Bartercard community as it suits their business at any time.

A benefit of a member using Bartercard for their business is that it encourages other members to utilise their goods and services. This, in turn, will help them gain new business, create customer loyalty and increase profits.

Further, unlike loyalty programs and daily deal sites, Bartercard Trade Dollars never expire.

All Bartercard members sign up to trading terms and the community is self-regulated. It’s therefore important that members are transparent and promote services and goods fairly to the network and customers.
