Exmerce is a business trade exchange founded by Nelson Liem in 2005. They are committed to helping small businesses in Calgary leverage barter through the Exmerce virtual currency (Exmerce dollars) to help companies increase sales, save cash, and turn excess capacity into profit.

Join a B2B Exchange with Calgary Dollars and Exmerce

B2B = Business to Business (and Barter to Barter!)

How does it work?

1 - You must have at least one ad on the Calgary Dollars Marketplace accepting 100% Calgary Dollars

You can create an ad that only other businesses can see by selecting the “B2B” Category. You can offer goods or services only visible to others in the B2B exchange. Exmerce businesses all accept 100% Exmerce Dollars. Through our partnership they will be accepting 100% Calgary Dollars too! You can limit the monthly or annual transactions you would like to receive from other businesses.

2 - You must have a City of Calgary Business License

Ask us about how you can use Calgary Dollars towards a City of Calgary Business license!

3 - With this collaboration you'll have an annual limit of C$1000 per year to spend on Exmerce B2B exchanges

If you want to exchange more than C$1000 per year with Exmerce businesses, you can become an Exmerce member.

Calgary Dollars participants get:

  • a discounted monthly Exmerce membership fee of $20 CAD (Reg. $30)

  • or pay monthly fees upfront for 12 months $199 (Save $61). 

  • Cash transaction fee for buying & selling of 8% still applicable.
