-
Peace of mind.
Subcontractors are given proof that full payment is available upon completion, before they start working.
Clients are guaranteed they will receive a quality job – payment is only released when the job meets all expectations.
-
No, you can break a job into smaller milestones in our app.
Each of these stages can be funded individually and payments released as the milestones are completed.
These are like progress payments for the job - tradies are paid as the project advances, rather than invoicing at the end of the month/job.
-
Yes, a client's deposit can be held securely in the trust account, without using escrow for the rest of the job.
This deposit can be released to the tradie whenever agreed - this could be once the work begins, upon completion of the job, or at any other specified time.
-
All escrowed funds are held in ASB trust accounts and can be released only upon clear approval by both parties.
All escrowed funds must remain exclusively in these trust accounts, as stipulated by our Bare Trust Deed and Terms & Conditions. Any transactions related to these trust accounts are subject to three-party authorisation and we are unable to access these funds for any other purposes.
A nominee company (Green Light Escrow Trustee Ltd) separates all funds held in trust accounts from the operations of Green Light Escrow Ltd
