TradeSafe Escrow: How Seller Payouts Work
Understand how escrow releases funds, when you get paid, and how to manage cash flow as a seller.
Escrow and Payouts
Talio Square uses TradeSafe escrow to protect every transaction. Understanding how money flows — in and out of escrow and into your account — is essential for managing your cash flow.
How the process works
- The buyer's payment is held securely in escrow at purchase
- Escrow is backed by Standard Bank, insured by Hollard, and audited by EY
- Funds are released to you once the buyer confirms delivery
- If a dispute arises, funds stay in escrow until resolution
Managing cash flow
Because funds sit in escrow until delivery confirmation, your cash flow lags sales. Plan your stock purchases, supplier payments, and marketing around this timing so you are never short when a payout lands.
Escrow builds profound buyer trust, which raises conversion. The trade-off is cash-flow timing — a predictable cost you can plan around.
