Escrow Protected Funds secured

Trust is the currency of global trade

Every year, billions in trade deals collapse because buyers and sellers can't trust each other. We're changing that with milestone-based escrow, verified partner networks, and transparent processes that protect everyone.

How It Works

Simple, secure, transparent

Connect

Find verified buyers or suppliers through our trusted network. Every partner is thoroughly vetted.

Agree

Define your terms, milestones, and conditions. Everything documented, nothing ambiguous.

Secure

Buyer deposits funds into escrow. Seller sees commitment is real before shipping.

Deliver

As milestones are verified, payments release. Everyone gets what they agreed to.

Platform Features

Everything you need to trade with confidence

Built for the realities of cross-border commerce between Africa and the world.

Milestone Escrow

Funds release only when agreed conditions are verified. From order confirmation to final delivery.

Verified Partners

Every supplier and buyer goes through thorough verification. Trade with confidence, not hope.

Multi-Currency

Trade in GBP, USD, EUR, and local currencies. Competitive rates, transparent fees.

Logistics Coordination

Vetted freight forwarders, customs brokers, and inspection partners. End-to-end visibility.

Cargo Insurance

Embedded protection against transit damage, loss, and delays. Peace of mind included.

Dispute Resolution

Fair, structured process if issues arise. Documentation and evidence guide resolution.

Getting Started

How it works

Create your account

Sign up as a buyer or seller in minutes. Whether you're an African exporter, international importer, or diaspora shopper — there's a place for you.

Build your profile

Add your business details, certifications, and products. Verified profiles earn higher trust scores, helping you win more trade.

Discover or list

Buyers: explore quality African products from verified sellers. Sellers: list your goods and reach customers across borders.

Connect and negotiate

Message sellers directly, negotiate terms, and agree on pricing. Every conversation is logged for transparency.

Trade with protection

Complete your purchase with escrow protection. Funds are only released when you confirm delivery, so both sides trade with confidence.
