Associate Membership

Global sales distribution channel and competitive buying opportunities

Associate membership offers many of the benefits of selling on Arbinet’s robust marketplace and its expertise in managing global termination routes with only a minimum financial commitment.  Associate Members generate revenue by selling a select number of global routes through the world’s largest communications marketplace, while also accessing global termination from Arbinet’s A-Z managed services for purchase on a fully managed basis.

A Turnkey Sales Channel to the World
Associate Members have the opportunity to generate revenue immediately by selling routes in up to 10 countries per settlement period on Arbinet’s 1,000+-Member voice exchange.  Our CreditWatch^sm system and third party underwriting by GMAC protects sellers and guarantees fast reliable payment while reducing working capital costs.

RapidClear^sm accelerated settlement service enables Arbinet’s net-selling Members to collect receivable payments in as little as one or two business days, eliminating the need to rely on a line of credit or dip into existing capital to increase cash flow. Sellers can choose from four different options to meet financial, cash flow and administrative needs – including a same-day weekly payout option to meet Friday accounts payable obligations. RapidClear makes it easy to manage expenses and re-invest funds to pursue business development opportunities.

RapidClear’s consistent payment schedule simplifies financial planning and can help reduce receivables processing costs.  A reliable, secure electronic funds transfer service reduces the risk of delayed or lost payments.

Termination Options from A to Z
With more than 1,300 termination destinations, an Associate membership with Arbinet provides a one-stop solution for all international call routing needs. Arbinet creates A-Z rate sheets by hand-selecting routes to offer buyers the right suppliers and route traffic efficiently. Arbinet selects the best carriers on thexchange so calls achieve the highest possible performance at specific cost targets. Our stable A to Z price lists integrate easily into routing and billing systems.

Arbinet rates each route on thexchange based on the quality of the most recent flow of traffic, and applies a quality metric called thexchange Quality Index^sm(TQI).  This information is updated regularly and can be viewed in MarketView^sm, a web-based tool for Members on thexchange.

An Associate membership with Arbinet enables carriers to:  

• Leverage peering community of trusted partners
• Maximize margins with competitive pricing for low volume destinations and overflow
• Directly access Tier-1 and specialty supply
• Optimize routing for price or quality
• Simplify accounting with consolidated invoicing and one net settlement
