Our mission

Over 765 million vacation days go unused in America each year. Due to IRS and other regulations, this compensation has been virtually impossible for employees to exchange for other forms of financial rewards. Until now.

At PTO Exchange, we've seen these challenges for a number of years, knowing this capability can potentially help millions of employees and workers, in both the public and private sectors. We’ve become experts on tax laws, rules and other regulations and have built that intelligence into an easy-to-use system that helps employees translate PTO into other things of value – retirement accounts, loan repayment programs, travel awards, charitable causes and more…

These are the reasons why we've built PTO Exchange. And we’re committed to this mission each and every day - because it matters to real people, living and working in our communities across the country. In our own small way, we want to help them achieve more of their dreams and facilitate giving and sharing.
