CHECKSCROW: protected payments for buying and selling in Nigeria

CHECKSCROW is an escrow service for online trades in Nigeria. The buyer pays into escrow, the seller delivers, and the money is released only after the buyer has checked the item.

How it works

1. Agree the deal. One side creates a trade with the item, the price and the delivery details, and the other side accepts it.
2. The buyer pays into escrow. The amount is locked for that trade and is not released yet.
3. The seller delivers. Courier tracking is checked automatically for some couriers, and hand deliveries use a handover code that the buyer gives only when they are holding the item.
4. The buyer inspects the item and approves, and the payment is released to the seller. If something is wrong, either side can open a dispute and our team reviews the evidence.

Fees

Creating a deal is free. The escrow fee is charged only when a trade completes: 3% under ₦100,000, 2% from ₦100,000 to ₦1,000,000, and 1.5% above ₦1,000,000. The fee is calculated on the item price only, not on any delivery fee.

What you can buy and sell

Electronics, phones and tablets, fashion, vehicles, property, home goods, computing and software, and services and freelance work.

Verified sellers

Sellers can apply to become Verified Sellers. After a moderator reviews their details, an approved store shows its store name with the owner's name beneath it, so buyers know who they are dealing with.
