The aim of the article is to describe time banks as a form of sharing economy materialization perceived as a socio-economic phenomenon. Special attention is given to the time component being the accounting currency of time banks and showing at the same time the redefinition and recalculation of time in individual and societies functioning that is proceeding nowadays. The attempt to intentionally-functional explanation of the research problem is based on critical observation of socio-economical environment changes and the analysis of subject literature.
