Acquisitions Timeline

Acquisitions play a pivotal role in International Monetary Systems's strategy for advancing its growth. Over the years, IMS has consistently demonstrated its ability to effectively acquire, acclimate, and foster the development of purchased trade exchanges, with 43 acquisitions completed since 1989. IMS Barter's robust financial standing, bolstered by our solid balance sheet and healthy cash flow, empowers us to actively pursue non-organic growth opportunities through our methodical and disciplined approach to mergers and acquisitions (M&A).

With a demonstrated commitment to growth and a formidable presence in the trade exchange industry, IMS is well-positioned for success now and for years to come.
