IRTA�s Universal
Currency Sets All-Time Trading Record
The Universal Currency
Clearinghouse (UC) set multiple, all-time records in 2012. For the
first time in its 15-year history, UC surpassed the monthly
million-dollar trading mark in December 2012, by posting $1,024,350
in trading activity.
The International
Reciprocal Trade Association�s UC also set an all-time trading
volume record of 6,525,976 for 2012, besting the prior annual record
of 6,035,202 in 2011.
According to Scott
Whitmer, UC Committee Chairman and two-time past president of IRTA,
UC�s tremendous growth is the work of two dedicated people � UC
International Broker Patty Weston and UC Administrator Ron Whitney.
With over 100 participating barter exchanges now involved, the UC
trading future looks exceedingly bright.
