What IS Exmerce Barter?
Exmerce’s is a community currency you’ll be able to trade with fellow businesses, support a circular Calgary economy and save your cash.
WHY BARTER?
Barter has been around for centuries. But using technology and a community currency system, you can buy what you need, when you need it versus trying to find someone who happens to need what you have and have what you need at any given time.
