    Pay through escrow

    The buyer pays in, and the seller is paid as each agreed milestone is met.

    T57 solves the risk of paying too early or shipping too soon, by holding buyer funds with a licensed escrow partner and releasing them only when agreed, recorded milestones are met.

    The problem

    Paying too early or shipping too soon

    In food trade, the gap between payment and delivery is where most disputes and losses happen. A buyer pays a deposit and the goods arrive late, short or below grade. A seller ships and the buyer delays payment or disputes quality to renegotiate. Without a neutral party holding the money and clear rules for releasing it, the weaker side usually loses. The key challenges T57 addresses include:

    Advance-payment fraud

    Buyers lose deposits to suppliers who do not deliver, or deliver something else.

    Non-payment

    Sellers ship and then chase payment for weeks or months.

    Quality disputes

    Without agreed evidence, arguments about grade or quantity drag on.

    How T57 works for you

    Agree release terms → Fund escrow → Record milestones → Release or pause

    1. 01

      Agree release terms

      Set milestones and release percentages in the contract, such as deposit on signing, part on inspection and balance on delivery.

    2. 02

      Fund escrow

      The buyer pays into an escrow account held by a licensed partner. The seller sees confirmation before it ships.

    3. 03

      Record milestones

      Inspection reports, bills of lading and delivery confirmations are added to the trade record.

    4. 04

      Release or pause

      Funds release automatically when each milestone is recorded. If either party raises a dispute, release pauses until it is resolved.

    Features

    10 features, one trade record

    Licensed escrow partnersFunds are held by regulated escrow providers, never by T57. For both sides, this means money is safe and separate.
    Milestone-based releasePayments tied to inspection, shipment, arrival or acceptance. For sellers, this means predictable cash flow.
    Partial releaseRelease in stages, such as 30/70 or 20/50/30. For larger trades, this balances risk on both sides.
    Evidence-linked triggersRelease follows recorded evidence, such as an inspection report or delivery confirmation. For buyers, this means you pay for what you receive.
    Dispute triggersRaising a dispute pauses release automatically. For both sides, this protects funds while issues are settled.
    Inspection integrationBook independent inspection from the same record, with results feeding release. For buyers, this settles quality fairly.
    Funding confirmationSellers see that escrow is funded before shipping. For exporters, this removes the risk of shipping unpaid.
    Lender repaymentEscrow can repay a trade finance lender at settlement before the balance goes to the seller or trader. For lenders, this makes finance self-liquidating.
    Domestic and cross-borderWorks for local wholesale and international trades. For supermarkets and HoReCa, this protects routine supply too.
    Full audit trailEvery deposit, release and pause is recorded. For finance teams and auditors, this means clean records.

    Use case · Illustrative example

    Karachi rice exporter and Riyadh wholesaler share the risk

    A Karachi rice exporter and a verified Riyadh wholesaler are trading for the first time. They agree on T57 to a 20/50/30 escrow: 20% on signing, 50% when pre-shipment inspection confirms grade and weight, and 30% on arrival. The wholesaler funds escrow through T57's licensed partner. The inspection report releases the second payment, and when a few bags arrive damaged, the wholesaler raises a dispute. Only the final 30% pauses, the claim is settled with the insurer, and the balance is released.

    Why T57

    We believe that trust between strangers should be built into the trade, not left to chance.

    T57 does not hold client funds

    Escrow is provided by licensed partners. T57 records the milestones and evidence that trigger release.

    AI advises, people decide

    AI checks that milestone documents are complete and consistent. Disputes are decided by people under the contract and the partner's rules.

    FAQ

    Common questions

    Who holds the money?

    A licensed escrow partner, in an account separate from T57 and from both trading parties.

    What does escrow cost?

    Escrow fees are set by the partner and shown before you agree the contract.

    Can escrow be used with a letter of credit or trade finance?

    Yes. Escrow can sit alongside an LC or repay a trade finance lender at settlement, on the same trade record.
