3.Loading up our escrow with your funds

This is a continuation of step 2 mentioned above. When awarding a project to a freelancer, the platform will ask that you submit the price of the project prior to work starting. Your funds are held securely in our escrow! An escrow holds your funds while the freelancer works on your project. The freelancer only receives the funds when you signal that the work was complete!

Our escrow protects clients from being scammed (as the funds are only released upon client approval). The escrow also protects freelancers by securing the funds prior to the freelancer starting the project.
