Timebank is a tool, accessible to everyone, to help, work and cooperate with each other. It enables exchanges with transactions based on time rather than conventional money, where one Timebank Hour equals exactly one hour of work.
We are an open platform that facilitates and encourages user-initiated projects on parallel economies. Timebank combines the advantages of modern technology with the communal principles of living together and sharing. The services for which the Timebank mediates range from piano tuning to programming web applications, from bicycle repair to business consultancy. The community has grown into an active network of over 900 users (June 2013), a number that is increasing with 20 to 30 new members every month. Timebank.cc is the biggest and fastest growing community currency in the Netherlands.
