Watch
See it in under a minute
The buyer pays in, and the seller is paid as each agreed milestone is met.
T57 solves the payment risk at the heart of food trade, by connecting escrow, wallets and electronic letters of credit from licensed partners to one verified trade record.
The problem
Someone always carries the payment risk
Every food trade comes down to one question: who goes first? Buyers fear paying for goods that never arrive or arrive short. Sellers fear shipping goods that are never paid for. Traditional answers, such as advance payment, open account or paper letters of credit, either put all the risk on one side or are too slow and costly for smaller trades. The key challenges T57 addresses include:
One-sided risk
Advance payment and open account leave one party fully exposed.
Slow, paper-heavy protection
Paper letters of credit take days, and document mismatches delay payment.
Payments cut off from the trade
Money moves in one system and goods in another, so disputes are hard to settle.

Use case · Illustrative example
Istanbul confectionery maker ships to a new buyer in Muscat
An Istanbul confectionery manufacturer wins its first order from a verified Muscat distributor and does not want to ship on open account. They agree on T57 to use escrow, with 30% released after pre-shipment inspection and 70% on delivery. The distributor funds escrow through T57's licensed partner, the manufacturer ships with confidence, and both releases happen automatically as the inspection report and delivery confirmation are recorded.
Why T57
We believe that neither side of a food trade should have to take a leap of faith.
T57 does not hold client funds
Escrow, wallets and letters of credit are provided by licensed banks and payment institutions. T57 provides the verified record and the milestones that trigger payment.
Payments tied to evidence
Because payments and documents sit on the same record, release decisions are based on facts both parties can see.
FAQ
Common questions
Which payment option should I choose?
Escrow suits most new relationships and domestic wholesale. eLCs suit larger cross-border trades where a bank guarantee is expected. Wallet payments suit trusted, repeat relationships.
Can I combine payment options?
Yes. For example, a deposit can be paid into escrow and the balance under an LC, all on the same trade record.
Who resolves payment disputes?
Disputes are handled under the contract and the licensed partner's rules. Release pauses automatically until they are resolved.
