Since it’s introduction a few months ago The Trade Banc Member Protection Plan has been well received. Under the plan any exchange that signs up for the plan, and all new exchanges that are automatically added can assure their members that should their exchange ever go out of business that the members barter dollars are safe and the member will be assigned to another exchange so business continues as usual. The member protection plan has no effect on an exchange should they sell their exchange or merge with another exchange and there is no cost to thte exchange for the Member Protection Plan.
