Favour Exchange Ireland: Banking Favours
http://www.favourexchangeireland.com/2015/04/banking-favours.html
Praise from Michael D! The favour is a time currency. (15 minutes =1 Favour, though you can change the value if your members/coordinators prefer). The currency works best if people are familiar with it and trust the banking process. Banking needs to be timely, accurate and transparent. Again, the technology can help. You could simply keep paper records and post them up from time to time, if you prefer but that is very time-consuming. For more information go to this link:. Favour Exchange In Your Area.

http://www.favourexchangeireland.com/2014/06/in-press.html
Praise from Michael D! In a recessionary world, PATRICK FREYNE examines how to get goods and services without resorting to cash. With our complicated financial system and highly technologized society, it’s unlikely that barter will make a widespread return. The sentences “I will swap you three hens for an iPhone 5” or “I will kill a wolf for a go of your Xbox” are unlikely to be crossing many lips. How does it work? I also got some pet advice from Clonakilty based vet Aisling McAuliffe. My household ...

Some simple, clearly-stated practical principles and guidelines will be plenty. Here's an example from the Sheep's Head Favour Exchange. However, it's important for members to let the co...
