Use case

Time Bank Software

The professional-grade platform for time banks that want to scale beyond 100 members.

In one paragraph

A time bank is a community currency system where members exchange services using time as the unit — typically one hour of service equals one time credit, regardless of the skill involved. Time banks emphasize equality of contribution and are usually run by community groups, non-profits, or municipal organizations.

How XO works for time banks

XO supports hours as a first-class currency unit, not a workaround. Time credits behave exactly like trade dollars — same ledger, same transaction authorization, same reporting — they're just denominated in hours instead of money.

What time bank operators usually struggle with is volunteer management at scale: matching offers to needs, preventing burnout among prolific givers, surfacing inactive members. XO's broker tooling and member analytics handle this directly. If you've been wishing your registry had a real CRM, this is it.

Hours as a first-class currency (1 hour = 1 time credit, configurable)
Marketplace of offers and requests with smart matching
Member activity tracking — surface inactive or over-extended members
Multi-language portal for diverse communities
Operator dashboard for funders / municipal grant reporting
White-label your community's name and brand

What's different vs hOurworld, TimeBanks USA, or a custom registry

Most existing time bank tools are either non-profit-built community registries (limited features, can't scale) or repurposed volunteer management software (no real currency model). XO is enterprise-grade software at non-profit-friendly pricing.

If your time bank has more than ~100 active members or operates across multiple sites, you've probably already hit the limits of what registry-style tools can do. XO is the next step up — without a six-figure custom build.
