Escrow Payment

Project Escrow
After selecting a provider, the Buyer is required to make an escrow payment for the project, this protects both the buyer and the provider. Buyer's funds are held securely in the escrow account until the services are provided satisfactorily and the provider is assured that the buyer has provided project funding into the escrow account and can start working on a project.

How it works
  • Buyer Posts a project
  • Service provider bids on the project
  • Buyer awards the project to the provider and is required to deposit the entire project amount to the project escrow
  • Provider starts working on the project
  • Provider submits the project deliverables
  • Buyer reviews the deliverables and accepts the submission
  • As soon as a project is accepted, the project amount is released to the Service Provider's "Wallet", after deducting the project fee
