How the Money Works

No Cash Changes Hands

🚀

You Join

Apply for free. When approved, you get T$100 in free Trade Dollars deposited into your account. That’s enough to cover your first five months of membership — no cash out of pocket. Credit card required for identity verification only — you will never be charged real dollars.

🤝

You Trade

Provide your services, earn Trade Dollars. Buy what you need from other members. Every transaction is tracked in your dashboard.

💰

Fees Are Automatic

Your T$20 monthly membership is deducted from your Trade Dollar balance. That’s the only fee. No transaction fees, no percentages, no surprises. Never from your bank account.

📈

The Exchange Trades Too

IslandBarter uses the Trade Dollars it earns from fees to buy services from members — putting those dollars right back into the community.
