Putting the unity back in community! Members of Taranaki Timebank exchange skills, time and knowledge. We use time instead of money as a currency. Everyone has talents and abilities to share: timebanking is a great way for people to benefit and learn from one another. One hour of work earns one time credit. It doesn’t matter what skills are exchanged. Everyone’s time is valued equally. Your timebank account keeps track of your time credits that you can exchange for services offered by other members.
