XO Limited Launches Inclusive “Pay
Anyone” Software
XO Limited has
recently launched its new “pay anyone” feature, where members of any
barter exchange can send barter dollars to anyone who has a mobile
phone or e-mail...even non-barter exchange members. The feature is
designed to make barter more “liquid” and more accessible to the
wider community.
Trade exchange
members can transfer funds to either (a) members within the same
exchange, (b) members of other linked barter exchanges—those within
their pooled or direct credit limits, or (c) any other business or
individual who has a valid e-mail address or SMS capable mobile
phone
When funds are transferred by a barter exchange member to a non-member they receive an e-mail or SMS message advising them of the
pending payment.
The non-member
recipient clicks a link, fills out a few details, and immediately
becomes an enrolled member of your exchange. The payment will be
instantly received and can be used with any other barter exchange
member or to pay anyone else online.
Accepting recipients automatically become a member of the barter
exchange from which the payment originated. Exchanges can set,
eliminate, reduce, or put a time-limit on the fees for Pay-Anyone
payment recipients and set credit limits as required.

ITEX’s
White Expects More Vibrant B-2-B Trading Community
In a recent “Message From The Chairman of ITEX,”
CEO Steven White told shareholders that the company will take
calculated risks to generate even stronger revenue growth and
greater profits than those the company accomplished over the last
three years, since taking the helm.
White asserted, “I envision a greater and more
vibrant business-to-business trading community as we move forward
with our planned initiatives.”
When White became Chairman and CEO, ITEX had a
contracting member base, mounting legal issues, declining revenues,
a negative net worth, and a market capitalization of $2 million.
In a short three years revenues went up 38%
(compared to fiscal 2003) and the company completed three
consecutive years of positive net income, while market
capitalization grew 500%.
The company is moving corporate headquarters
into a larger facility this month, expanding from 4,500 square feet
to 7,000 square feet. (The move is a few miles from their previous
headquarters.)
