===Timebank Florianópolis===

The Time Bank of the City of Florianópolis (BTF) is one of the first and best known Time Banks in Brazil. The initiative was conceived in September 2015 at a local Zeitgeist meeting, part of the international sustainability movement.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Sayuri |first1=Juliana |title=O banco que quer seu tempo, não seu dinheiro |date=30 November 2017 |url=https://www.vice.com/pt/article/o-banco-que-quer-seu-tempo-nao-seu-dinheiro/}}</ref> BTF works from a Facebook group that has more than 20,000 members, and exchanges are counted in a spreadsheet shared with users. Scientific research on BTF indicates that the time bank is a means for creating social capital in local society<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Romanello |first1=Michele |title=Participação em bancos de tempo: utilizando dados sobre transações para avaliar o Banco de Tempo - Florianópolis |journal=Revista Catarinense de Economia |date=2017 |volume=1 |issue=2 |pages=48–65 |doi=10.54805/RCE.2527-1180.v1.n2.16 |s2cid=246586584 |url=http://apec.pro.br/rce/index.php/rce/article/view/16|doi-access=free }}</ref> and that BTF members have different socioeconomic characteristics compared to residents of the city of Florianópolis. Younger, non-white, employed, female individuals, working in the informal sector, with a higher education level and with a higher monthly income are more likely to be BTF members.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Romanello |first1=Michele |last2=Schneider Muller Pereira Ribas |first2=Kamila |title="Banco de Tempo-Florianópolis": análise das características socioeconômicas de seus membros |journal=Revista Brasileira de Desenvolvimento Regional |date=2020 |volume=1 |page=195 |doi=10.7867/2317-5443.2020v8n1p195-210 |doi-access=free }}</ref>
