Timebanking
Help members exchange time and skills.
Whether you're helping a neighbour or sharing your professional skills, timebanking offers a meaningful way to exchange time, build connections and support one another.
This feature makes sure everyone’s time holds equal value, and support flows freely within the community.
Choose a time credits system (1 hour = 1 credit), or choose to simply track hours.
At Made Open, we believe in the power of communities - and we’ve built the technology to match that belief.
Since 2018, we’ve been on a mission to create fair, inclusive and scalable community software that helps people exchange time, skills and support in meaningful ways.
While other platforms offer timebanking functionality, many fall short when it comes to the flexibility, security and user engagement needed to meet the real-world needs of today’s communities.
We’ve worked hard to build something more responsive - not just an upgrade, but a practical shift in what timebanking software can offer.
Independent research, regular competitor reviews and feedback from our users suggest that Made Open is helping set a new standard in the field.
Our platform is designed to be user-friendly, secure and adaptable. It includes flexible credit systems, additional safeguarding features and tools that help communities stay engaged and grow stronger over time.
We’ve also developed new features that, as far as we know, haven’t been offered elsewhere:
- A central hub for timebanking networks:
Administrators can now set up, manage and link timebanks from a single portal. This makes it easier to coordinate efforts across different communities and encourages wider participation. - Pooling credits across communities:
People can now earn credits in one community and use them in another. This reflects how interconnected our lives are - and removes barriers to sharing time and support more freely.
These developments aren’t just technical updates - they represent a shift in how timebanking can work in practice, helping communities collaborate more effectively and unlock greater social value.
Our timebanking software is now being used across the UK, Europe, Asia, the US and New Zealand.
