Market Data Submissions
Submitting new transaction data helps to keep our database up to date.
Three Data Levels
In order to encourage more detailed data submissions, the IBA has instituted three levels of data submission. Level 1 requires the least number of data items, and Level 3 requires the most. The higher the data level, the more Universal Bucks you are awarded. Here are the current rates:
Level 1 = 25 Universal Bucks per transaction
Level 2 = 40 Universal Bucks per transaction
Level 3 = 55 Universal Bucks per transaction
There are two ways to submit transaction data to the IBA: using our Microsoft® Excel workbook file, or using one of our PDF forms. Both the workbooks and the forms support all three data levels.
IBA Transaction Data Submission Workbook
We prefer to receive transaction data in the Microsoft® Excel workbook file that we designed for this purpose. To download a copy of the file, click here. If your web browser asks if you want to open the file or save it to your system, choose to save it to your system. Then open the file in Excel and start entering your data. The workbook allows you to enter transactions at all three data levels. Complete instructions are available here. To submit your completed workbook, attach the workbook file to an email message and send it to ibadata@valusourcesoftware.com.
IBA Transaction Data Submission PDF Forms
If possible, please use the workbook file (see above) to submit all transaction data. If it is not possible for you to submit your data using the workbook, you can use our PDF forms. There are three forms, one for each data level.
PLEASE NOTE: Do not enter the same transaction at more than one level. Enter each transaction once and only once. You will not receive additional IBA Bucks for duplicating transactions at multiple levels.
