Micro Escrow™: Conditional Payments for Modern Platforms
Patent-pending technology that lets platforms hold and release funds digitally and compliantly within the payment flow — without manual processes or expensive intermediaries.
Escrow, Rebuilt for the Payment Flow
Escrow wasn't designed for real-time, software-driven transactions. So, we built it.
Traditional Escrow
Manual, slow, and dependent on third parties. Built for one-off, high-value transactions — not platforms.
What Changed
Platforms need speed, automation, and conditional logic — with trust built-in before money moves.
Micro Escrow™
Conditional holds embedded directly into the payment flow, so funds release automatically based on your rules.
How Micro Escrow™ Works
Trust established automatically — before funds are released.
Buyer or payor sends funds into Micro Escrow™ at checkout or payment initiation.
Funds are held securely and compliantly while predefined conditions are evaluated — milestones, approvals, or delivery.
Funds release automatically when conditions are met.
Why Micro Escrow™ Matters
Because trust shouldn't be manual, reactive, or expensive.
Trust without friction
Funds only move when conditions are met — giving buyers and sellers confidence without delays or guesswork.
Fewer disputes, higher conversion
Trust is enforced upfront, reducing chargebacks, reversals, and abandoned transactions.
No operational or compliance burden
Conditional logic, compliance, and fund controls live in the payment flow — not manual processes or third parties.
When Micro Escrow™ Makes Sense
Use Micro Escrow™ when payments depend on conditions — not just speed.
Marketplaces with Delivery or Completion
Hold funds until delivery is confirmed or a service is marked complete — automatically, within the payment flow.
Cross-Border SMB Transactions
Reduce risk on international payments where trust is lower, timelines vary, and recourse is limited.
High-Value or High-Risk Payments
Protect both sides when transaction amounts are meaningful or fraud risk is elevated.
Transactions with Milestones or Approvals
Release funds in stages as milestones are completed, approvals are granted, or platform-defined roles take action.
For low-risk, instant transactions, direct pay may still be sufficient.
