What protection actually means here
We describe the mechanism instead of making an absolute promise. That is more useful to you and more honest about how modern transactions really work.
- The terms and milestones are recorded before any funding begins
- The release condition is visible and agreed by both sides
- A dispute can pause the affected release while evidence is reviewed
- Verification describes the checks completed, not a blind guarantee
Mechanism over promise
Protection strictly follows the agreed terms, release conditions, evidence, and dispute rules displayed inside the deal record.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about protected deals, escrow custody, and milestone releases.
What is TrustedDealMaker?
TrustedDealMaker helps buyers and sellers structure and complete protected transactions. The parties agree on terms, place payment into a protected escrow hold, progress through delivery or milestones, and confirm completion before funds are released. If an agreement is breached, our evidence-led dispute process pauses the release while the case is reviewed.
Who holds the funds during a deal?
Funds are held securely in segregated custodial trust accounts provided by our licensed banking and financial custody partners. Neither party can unilaterally withdraw or redirect funds once a deal is funded until the agreed release conditions are satisfied or a dispute resolution is issued.
When does the seller get paid?
Payment is released strictly according to the conditions configured in the deal. Depending on the agreed structure, funds release upon buyer confirmation of delivery, passing of the 48-hour physical inspection window, or sign-off on individual project milestones.
What happens if I do not receive what was agreed?
You can open a dispute directly from your deal timeline before the inspection window closes. This automatically pauses the release of funds. Both parties submit evidence (tracking receipts, photographs, messages, specifications) and our arbitration team reviews the record to issue a fair resolution or refund.
What does 'verified seller' mean?
A verification badge indicates that the seller has completed identity checks (such as government-issued ID, NIN, or BVN) or verified their business registration documents with official corporate registries. While verification establishes trusted counterparty identity, every deal is still individually governed by escrow hold rules.
Is the mobile app required?
No. You can create, negotiate, fund, and manage your deals entirely through our web platform. Our iOS and Android mobile apps provide added convenience with push notifications for milestone submissions and fast biometric deal approvals on the go.
