(EMAILWIRE.COM, June 12, 2005 ) Chatswood, Australia -- The concept of barter trade has existed since the dawn of civilization. Bartercard, the World’s largest barter trade exchange as able to apply barter trade to contemporary business practices via a specially designed accounting and administration system that monitors debit and credit transactions. Since 1991, Bartercard barter trade exchange has grown to be the world’s largest business-to-business Exchange. It is internationally recognized as an innovative leader of systems, training and marketing in the Barter Trade Exchange industry.

Barter trade is the exchange of goods and services without the need for cash. However, direct Barter trade or contra as it is sometimes known suffers from a lack of flexibility. For example, the Barter trade goods to be traded between two parties are not always of equal value, and a trader does not necessarily want to barter for the particular goods that another trader wants to exchange. Organised barter trade, via a trade exchange, overcomes the problems and restrictions of simple barter or contra arrangements.
