Register a New Exchange

Consider the following before clicking the Register button below:

• Check if there is already a CES exchange in your area

First check below to see if there is an already-existing CES exchange in your area. If there is not one click on the Register button below to start one!

...or by clicking here for more detail.

• Join your existing exchange group to the CES network

If you are an administrator of an existing complementary currency trading exchange, such as a LETS group or time bank, why not register your exchange with the CES to become part of an international, complementary currency trading network that permits global trading. By linking your exchange to the CES you can move your accounts to a sophisticated, internet-based system and take advantage of the many built-in tools for administering the exchange. Your legacy data can be imported into CES so you can carry on from where you left off.

• Community exchange or time bank?

The CES caters for both mutual credit community exchanges, where the unit of value is based on the national currency or any other standard, and time banks, where the unit of value is based on time.

• No costs in conventional money

There is no cost in conventional money to be part of the Community Exchange Network. We are doing everything possible to eliminate the need for conventional money and create an exchange system that runs on its own steam.

• Management tools

To manage your exchange, there are three built-in management interfaces:

a sophisticated Administrative Interface from which the administrator or administrative team manages the exchange and keeps records of what is happening. To see what functions are contained in the Administrative Interface, click here.
a Membership Co-Ordinator's Interface for your Membership Co-Ordinator/Secretary/Officer to manage membership matters. To see what functions are contained in the Membership Co-Ordinator's Interface, click here.
a Co-Ordinator's Interface for appointed members to perform actions on behalf of others (e.g. for those without computers). To see what functions are contained in the Co-Ordinator's Interface, click here.

If you feel that there are enough people in your community who might be interested in trading without using our ever-scarce federal currency, or who are troubled by the serious problems created by the current debt-based money system, register a new exchange by clicking the button below.
