Q: Is there a regulatory body that oversees Barter exchanges in the US and Dubai?

 

A: There aren't any regulatory bodies for barter. There are associations, such as IRTA and NATE, but neither they, nor the governments in the US or Canada set any regulations for barter. Some countries such as France have regulations, but I we are not aware of other potential regulations in other countries. 

 

You may want to contact Ron@irta.com for any additional info. We would also suggest becoming a member of IRTA, as it is the international association for barter and community currencies.
