Tradebank isn't just about growing your business. It's about enjoying the life you're working so hard to build! 💚

We talk a lot about how Tradebank helps businesses generate new revenue and preserve cash. But here's something we don't talk about enough: the lifestyle benefits.

Imagine using your Trade Dollars for a weekend getaway, a relaxing spa day, dining out, home improvements, or experiences with family and friends.

That's the beauty of Tradebank. You're not just creating more opportunities for your business. You're creating more opportunities to enjoy life without always reaching for your wallet.

After all, isn't that part of why we work so hard in the first place?

Work hard. Trade smart. Live better.

We're so proud to see our CEO, Valerie Hale, featured in Highlight Georgia! 🎉

Valerie's story with Tradebank started in 1996 when she came on board to "help out temporarily." Nearly 30 years later, she's leading the company her father, John Davis, founded in 1987, and guiding it into the future with new technology, and the same focus on relationships that has always been at the heart of what we do.

"We help businesses trade what they have for what they want without spending cash."

Thank you to Bonnie Mauldin and Highlight Georgia for sharing her story!

Founded in 1987 by Valerie's father, John Davis, Tradebank began with a simple but powerful concept: businesses can trade products and services with one another through a network.

Tradebank was proud to be one of the sponsors of this year’s IRTA Conference in beautiful Breckenridge, Colorado, where barter companies and industry leaders from around the world came together to learn, exchange ideas, and strengthen our industry.
Tradebank CEO, Valerie Hale, and Teresa Watson served as panelists, sharing their experiences and perspectives with industry professionals.

We were also especially proud to celebrate two members of the Tradebank team. Teresa Watson was honored with the Legends of Barter Award, recognizing her contributions to the barter industry, and Andres Martinez earned his Certified Trade Broker (CTB) designation.

It was a great few days of learning, collaboration, and connection, and a wonderful opportunity to represent Tradebank alongside so many people committed to advancing our industry.

Congratulations, Teresa and Andres! We are proud to have you representing Tradebank.

Today, we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and to honor the courage of the first responders, service members, and everyday heroes who stepped forward in the face of unimaginable tragedy.

We remember those who never made it home, the families forever changed, and the bravery and unity shown in the days that followed.

May we continue to honor their memory with gratitude, compassion, and unity.

Never forgotten. Always remembered.

Tradebank of Huntsville Welcomes New Regional Owner Andrew Harless

Tradebank is pleased to announce that Andrew Harless has purchased the Tradebank of Huntsville franchise and will serve as its new Regional Owner.

Andrew takes the reins from longtime Regional Owner Lisa Smith, who has built an engaged and loyal community of business owners throughout the Huntsville region. Lisa’s commitment to her clients and her ability to create strong relationships have been an important part of the region’s success, and we are incredibly grateful for the foundation she has built.

And while Lisa may be saying goodbye to her role in Huntsville, she isn’t going far.

At the beginning of this year, Lisa expanded her Tradebank journey by opening the Tradebank franchise in Mobile, Alabama, where she will continue to serve the Tradebank network as a Regional Owner. We’re excited to watch her take the experience and relationships she developed in Huntsville and use them to build another strong Tradebank community in Mobile.

As Huntsville begins its next chapter, we couldn’t be more excited to welcome Andrew!

Andrew has already spent time learning the Tradebank system, working with our team, and getting to know the business from both the sales and brokering sides.

“Andrew has a naturally welcoming personality that makes people feel comfortable almost immediately,” said Valerie Hale, CEO of Tradebank. “He has also picked up very quickly on how to effectively broker for our clients and how to sell the value of Tradebank. That combination of building relationships while recognizing business opportunities is so important in this business, and I’m excited to see what he does with the Huntsville region.”

One of Tradebank’s greatest strengths is the way our Regional Owners and brokers work together across markets. Andrew is joining a team that understands that when our regions collaborate, share opportunities, and support one another, the entire Tradebank network, and ultimately our clients, benefit.

“One of the things I’ve enjoyed watching is how quickly Andrew has connected with our team,” Hale added. “Our brokers and owners are genuinely excited to work with him. Lisa built a wonderful group of clients in Huntsville, and Andrew now has the opportunity to take that strong foundation and build upon it.”

For Huntsville Tradebank clients, the transition represents both continuity and new opportunity. Andrew will continue Tradebank’s focus on helping local businesses conserve cash, attract new customers, and create new opportunities through relationships with businesses throughout the Tradebank network.

We are grateful to Lisa Smith for what she has built in Huntsville and excited to continue watching her grow Tradebank in Mobile, Alabama. And we are equally excited to welcome Andrew Harless as the new owner of Tradebank of Huntsville.

Please join us in congratulating Lisa on her continued journey in Mobile and Andrew on this exciting new chapter in Huntsville!

One of our favorite Tradebank stories comes from our CEO, Valerie.

Last month, Valerie's youngest daughter got married, and like most families planning a wedding, she got a reminder of just how expensive weddings can be.

Thankfully, Tradebank helped offset many of those costs.

That got her thinking about her own wedding nearly 30 years ago...

Almost everything was purchased through Tradebank: the dress, DJ, caterer, florist, invitations, venue, and cake.

The only thing they paid cash for?

The pastor.

And... the pastor didn't show up.

Thankfully, another pastor stepped in, the wedding went on, and almost 30 years later it's still one of Valerie's favorite Tradebank stories.

Maybe the lesson is this...

Sometimes trade turns out to be more reliable than cash. 😉

What's the most memorable thing you've ever purchased through Tradebank? We'd love to hear your story!
