Why use online escrow?

Online escrow provides full assurance for B2B and B2C transactions where payment and delivery don’t happen at the same time.

The buyer pays the agreed amount to Certo Escrow’s independent escrow account. Funds are held there securely until all pre-agreed conditions are met. Only then are they released to the seller or other beneficiaries.

This approach prevents credit and fraud risks, unclear agreements, and unnecessary costs or time wasted on disputes. Online escrow is perfect for both products and services, including machinery, domain names, travel, custom projects, and trade deals. A safe alternative to costly bank guarantees or letters of credit.
