3 An exclusive Member Protection Plan protects your members in the event your exchange goes out of business. The Trade Banc guarantees your members will be placed with another exchange in or near their area or to a national exchange. Changing the name of your exchange or selling your exchange does not constitute going out of business. As the owner of the exchange you have the right to first place your members elsewhere should you go out of business. We consider an exchange out of business if owner or owners abandon all their members for a period of 3 months or more or notify us of intent to cease operation and have not sold their exchange. Transaction fees payable are due at time of purchase and fees due for more than 15 days will be assessed a late fee of $25.00 per month, or 1.50% of the unpaid balance, whichever is more. Ongoing services fees are 0.75% (3/4%) of members sales per month, payable in cash.
