seeking fair solutions.

Trade currency within Barter network
Barter network (Mutual Credit Systems)
?
?
?

A group of businesses create a group credit for their goods & services
Each business in the group is given an amount of credit that is backed by the
commitment of the other businesses.
Either electronic database, or even coupons act as a currency that is backed by
excess capacity of the business community.

Worldwide, more than 400,000 companies are members of one or more of the hundreds
of Trade (¡°Barter¡±) Exchanges. Various sources estimate the volume of non-monetary
trade worldwide to be between 15% to 25% of the total.
Examples of existing barter networks
Bartercard was founded in 1991 and has about 75,000 cardholders operates in 13 countries in the
Asian Pacific Rim (including Australia), Middle East, and Europe.

ITEX was founded in 1982, ITEX is a publicly traded company and is one of the largest trade
exchange networks in the United States, and has about 24,000 cardholders in the North American
market.
IMS was founded in 1985, IMS is a publicly traded company and is one of the largest trade
exchange networks in the United States, and has about 23,000 cardholders in 51 North American
markets.
BBX was founded in 1993, BBX currently has about 8,000 cardholders in Australia, New Zealand,
India, Costa Rica and China. BBX is the first barter exchange manager to list on the Australian
Stock Exchange (ASX)
WIR was founded in 1934 and has about 80,000 cardholders operates in Switzerland only among
whom is traded approximately CHF 2.5 billion annually (over $2 billion US dollars)
Barter network = Trade Exchange

Credit + Debt = Zero

All of the DEBT plus all the CREDIT
in the system will always equal ZERO

Summary; it is just the beginning
? There is potential from these innovations in terms of their wider effect
on society.
? As a cooperative bank needs fair and sustainable innovations. The
challenge is to find fair business models for the bank using
complementary currencies.
? Learning by doing: be active in a number of ways where Rabobank
enhances its co-operative approach to monetary innovation, and has
horses in the race and shapes the rules of the game.
