The Process

How Hold.bd Escrow Works

A transparent five-step flow where both parties stay protected and funds are held in a segregated trust account at a scheduled commercial bank.

1

Agree on terms

Buyer and seller set the deal: price, delivery, and inspection period.

2

Deposit to our partner bank

Buyer deposits funds into a segregated trust account at a scheduled commercial bank. Money is secured, not sent to the seller.

3

Seller delivers

Seller delivers the goods or service, knowing payment is already held.

4

Buyer inspects

Buyer reviews within the agreed inspection period and approves, or raises a dispute.

5

Funds released

A scheduled commercial bank releases payment to the seller via BEFTN, NPSB, or RTGS.
