Supply & clearing via

IRTA UC BarterBrokers · Antwerp TradeEuro Group + affiliated exchanges

The marketplace for everyone who works in barter.

TradeEuro.market is the stage where barter exchanges, their members, and prospective traders meet. Whether you're an IRTA member, a local-network member, or not yet affiliated — we make your offerings visible and give you access to what others have to offer.

Every transaction follows one standardised process: Offer ID → Request ID → anonymised seller inquiry → confirmation → settlement. Automatic where possible, human where needed.

How it works →

The four pillars

Discretion by design

Your member base stays with you. Only offerings and settlement amounts move.

Dual clearing

IRTA UC between exchanges. TradeEuro Clearing Unit (TCU) for members without a local exchange.

Credit-trap relief

Accumulated credits find a new destination beyond your own network.

Automated workflow

Offer IDs, Request IDs, verification checklist, status lifecycles. Humans by exception, not at every step.

10 offers available

Partner with us — without giving up your model.

For directors and operators of barter exchanges worldwide. A proposition to offer your members more, give your traders more buyers, and keep your member base fully protected.

The four building blocks of our partnership

From outreach already sent to peers like RES, TradeXchange and future partners — this proposition is open to any exchange that wants to work under the same terms.

1Thousands of additional offerings for your members

Hospitality, travel, consumer goods, services, media — curated and verified, offered inside your own platform and your own currency. Your members never need to see TradeEuro.market.

2Your supply reaches many more buyers

Your members' offerings — only the offerings, never their identity — become visible to buyers across every affiliated network. More buyers, more volume, more reason for members to stay with you.

3Your member base stays closed

Identities, trading history and contact details stay exclusively with you. Between networks only the offerings catalogue (what, not who) and anonymised settlement amounts circulate via IRTA UC.

4A relief valve for the credit-trap

Credits that became hard to spend inside a single network now gain an extra destination — without you having to scale up your own sourcing and supply function.

Also available white-label

The same infrastructure under your own brand

The TradeEuro.market architecture is available as a white-label solution for closed groups of exchanges that want to operate under their own brand. Think of a regional cluster, a sector-specific network, or a strategic alliance of exchanges that want to pool their offerings without appearing under our marketplace. Full workflow — request handling, anonymisation, quote flow, dashboard and settlement — in your own look & feel, on Cyclos infrastructure.

Frequently asked questions about the TradeEuro Clearing Unit (TCU)

What is a TCU?

TCU stands for TradeEuro Clearing Unit. It is a trade credit we issue for members who do not (yet) have access to IRTA UC. 1 TCU corresponds to 1 EUR of trade value. You earn TCU by selling on the platform; you spend TCU by buying on it.

How does TCU differ from UC?

UC (IRTA Universal Currency) is the international clearing mechanism between IRTA-affiliated exchanges. Settlement runs automatically through the IRTA UC network. TC (TradeEuro Clearing Unit) is our own clearing unit for members who are not part of an IRTA exchange — for example, in countries without a local network, or for companies that deliberately choose not to join a fixed exchange.

When is which currency used?

When both buyer and seller are members of an IRTA exchange, the transaction runs via UC. When either (or both) is not an IRTA member, TCU is used. Both are always shown on every offer card in the marketplace, so you know upfront which clearing form applies.

How do I get TCU on my account?

Two ways: (1) by selling on TradeEuro.market — every sale is credited in TC; (2) by purchasing TC for cash, at parity 1 TCU = 1 EUR, directly through TradeEuro Group. Both routes are fully documented in your account overview.

Is TCU legally and fiscally covered?

TCU is structured as a B2B trade receivable between business partners — not as money or e-money. The exact legal and fiscal structure is set before the official launch by our external advisors (Belgian and Bulgarian). Your own accountant can treat TCU flows like any other trade receivable.

When does TCU go live?

We launch TC only after the legal structure has been validated and the first pilot phase with partner exchanges has completed successfully. Until then, you can join the waiting list — we notify you personally once TCU accounts become available.

The bridge-builder in the European barter sector.

TradeEuro.market is the public stage where barter exchanges, their members, and prospective traders meet. Whether you're a member of an IRTA exchange, a local network, or not yet affiliated — this is where you find each other.

The marketplace is run by TradeEuro Group Ltd, a Bulgarian holding under Sebastiaan Kastelijn, Vice Chairman of IRTA (International Reciprocal Trade Association). The supply is delivered by BarterBrokers, an independent Belgian trading company based in Antwerp, and in the next phase by affiliated partner exchanges.

Our position is deliberate: we build bridges between IRTA members and the rest of the sector, we respect the autonomy of every exchange, and we make our workflow as transparent as possible — Offer IDs, verification checklists, anonymised seller requests, automatic settlement where possible, human intervention where needed.

Governance & liability

TradeEuro Group Ltd is the operator of the platform. BarterBrokers is the supplier of the first set of offerings and acts as trader/broker. Both entities operate under the operational lead of Iskra Kadicheva, CFO over the barter track of the group. Legal and fiscal structuring is carried out together with Jan Persoons (BE legal), Miltcho Zanev (BG legal), Hagro (BE accountancy) and Novika (BG accountancy).

Confidentiality

Every offer on this platform passes a verification checklist before publication. Every buyer request is sent to the seller in anonymised form. The member bases of affiliated exchanges stay exclusively with those exchanges. Only the offerings catalogue and settlement amounts move between networks.

On top of Cyclos — proven banking infrastructure

Technically, TradeEuro.market rests on Cyclos, the open-source banking tool IRTA has selected for the next generation of UC infrastructure. We build the operational layer that turns UC clearing into a daily usable marketplace — with request handling, anonymisation, quote flow, dashboard and settlement tracking. Cyclos covers the banking side; TradeEuro.market covers the workflow and trading side.

White-label for third parties

The TradeEuro.market architecture is available as a white-label solution for closed groups of exchanges that want to operate under their own brand — for example a regional cluster, a sector-specific network, or a strategic alliance of exchanges that want to pool their offerings without appearing under our marketplace. Full workflow in your own look & feel, on Cyclos infrastructure. Interested? Email info@tradeeurogroup.com.
