The company has grown into the largest and strongest barter exchange in the Delaware – Pennsylvania – New Jersey region, with over 1,000 real and active members. The company is a member of the National Association of Trade Exchanges, (NATE). The company has over 20 reciprocal arrangements with other barter exchanges throughout the country to afford access to goods and services outside the Tri-State region.

Atlantic Barter prides itself on providing broker driven, hands-on customer service to its members. Though the company utilizes the internet as a communication tool, the company is still dedicated to providing real, live, and knowledgeable brokerage support for ALL its members. As a result, Atlantic Barter’s membership base has continued to grow since its inception as the good word about Atlantic Barter’s superior customer service has spread through out the barter industry.

The company continues to build on its current membership base by expanding geographically into its neighboring regions. As Atlantic Barter grows, the company is determined to do so in a manner that respects the integrity of its members and provides the highest possible level of professionalism so as to continue to command respect inside, and outside of the barter industry.

Our members are dynamic, progressive companies.
