Bartercard franchise

Welcome to the Bartercard Franchise Opportunity

Be your own boss of an innovative business solution, where the more business you generate, the more you earn.

What is Bartercard?

Quickly revolutionising the business-to-business landscape with contemporary bartering, Bartercard is a business network made up of thousands of members from around the world. Expertly designed to help companies improve their cash flow and reduce cash expenses. But rather than the days gone by of swapping a cow for a pig, modern day bartering empowers business owners to conserve cash using virtual currency, known as a trade pound. So, you can swap products or services indirectly with any other business within Bartercard’s extensive network.

What makes us unique?

Bartercard provides quick and effective growth opportunities for countless global cardholders, enabling users to promote their business, free up cash flow and obtain an interest free line of credit. Beyond this genuinely unique concept to bring bartering into the 21st century, Bartercard aims to enhance the lives of people by creating value and opportunity from the unrealised potential in the businesses of members worldwide. In fact, we now possess a truly international presence with 75 offices across 10 countries including Australia, the UK, Thailand, UAE, USA and South Africa. Setting the foundation for our continued global growth and to successfully become the world’s largest trade exchange and a globally recognized business-to-business brand.
