How Escrow Protects Your Money on PBridge
Feb 10, 2026 · 4 min read
One of the biggest fears in online freelancing is simple: what if I pay and don\'t get the work? Or from the other side: what if I do the work and don\'t get paid?
PBridge solves both problems with SafeHold™ Escrow — a payment system where nobody loses.
How It Works
When a client hires a freelancer on PBridge, the payment flow is straightforward:
Step 1: The client deposits the agreed amount. The money is held securely by PBridge — not sent to the freelancer yet.
Step 2: The freelancer completes and delivers the work through the platform.
Step 3: The client reviews the delivery. If satisfied, they approve it.
Step 4: Once approved, PBridge releases the payment to the freelancer\'s wallet instantly.
What If There\'s a Dispute?
If the client isn\'t satisfied or the freelancer believes the work meets requirements, either party can raise a dispute. Our team reviews the evidence and makes a fair decision. The money stays protected in escrow until the dispute is resolved.
Why This Matters in Nigeria
Trust is everything. Too many people have been burned by sending money and getting nothing in return, or doing work and never hearing back. Escrow eliminates that risk entirely. Both sides are protected from the moment a contract starts.
Key Benefits
For Clients: You only pay for work you\'re happy with. If the delivery doesn\'t meet your requirements, your money is safe.
For Freelancers: You know the money is already secured before you start working. No more chasing invoices.
