About ATE

ATE: We bring MORE business to YOUR business

Our Company
Arizona Trade Exchange is a business-to-business company that currently includes hundreds of in-demand companies doing business with each other on a cashless basis. All of our members pay each other in standard trade credits, dollar for dollar, which can be used with any of the companies in our trade network. Annually, the Arizona Trade Exchange posts trade transactions totalling several millions of dollars, helping our members leverage their resources and extend both their buying and selling power through barter.

Arizona Trade Exchange started in 1999, to provide Arizona businesses with access to a trade network. Our philosophy is simple: Provide efficient barter opportunities, help our members get the most from their trade dollars, and provide the best possible customer service.

We Dare You To Compare

There are several trade organizations in the Phoenix Metro Area, but we dare you to compare them to Arizona Trade Exchange. Since 1999, our mission has guided us to be the best trade network in the Valley, and we’ve done just that from the start. Here are just a few reasons why:

• Location, location, location – Arizona Trade Exchange members are hand-picked and selected based on several sets of criteria, location being one of the most important. Instead of spreading our network across the Valley, we’ve concentrated our membership in one area and built outward, covering most of the Valley in even distribution.
  
  
• We don't charge you cash until we do our job – Most trade exchanges charge a commission the minute you earn trade credits and then charge a second commission when you spend the credits. Arizona Trade Exchange doesn't charge its commission until after you spend the trade dollars you've earned.
  
  
• A Trade Fair unlike any other – Our Holiday Trade Fair features retail items including household & kitchen merchandise, men’s & women’s fashions and accessories, luggage, toys, jewelry, sporting goods and much, much, more. These items are purchased specifically for the Trade Fair and are always new and different. All items are marked at retail prices and can be purchased with trade dollars. In November 2018, ATE launched its own online shopping experience which allows its members to purchase Trade Fair items online from the comfort of their home or office or in person at its showroom and fulfillment center.
  
  
• A balanced membership – Arizona Trade Exchange hand-selects business members to join our barter network based on what services are in demand and what the network needs for a more well-rounded, balanced selection of services. This helps to ensure that all members take in as much trade as they want without the worry of an oversaturated sector of business.
  
  
• Members that trade – Our trade members are never allowed to go “on hold” or become inactive, ensuring that you can always spend your trade dollars with everyone listed in our member directory.
