Every Dollar Secured Before Anything Ships
Filify removes counterparty risk from cross-border agricultural trade. One hundred percent of the FOB contract value is deposited into a regulated Tazapay escrow vault prior to dispatch — and released only when verified delivery documentation is on file.
What Escrow Means on Filify
100% of the Free On Board (FOB) trade value is deposited by the importer into a Tazapay escrow vault before the exporter dispatches any goods. The funds are secured, visible to both parties, but not released to the exporter until delivery conditions are independently verified.
- Buyer funds are protected until documented delivery is confirmed.
- Seller ships with confidence, knowing the full contract value is already secured.
- Filify never holds or touches client funds at any stage of the transaction.
The core promise
Money moves only when evidence moves first. Every release is gated by verified trade documentation — Bill of Lading, SGS report, phytosanitary certificate, certificate of origin, and packing list — all cross-checked by PhytoCheck AI and the Doc Verificator.
From Order to Release — Step by Step
A clear, evidence-gated flow that keeps both importer and exporter protected at every stage of the shipment.
Inspect Before You Pay to Release
Independent SGS Inspection
The importer nominates their own SGS inspector to verify quality, quantity, and compliance before the container seals. The report becomes part of the locked trade file.
Live Video Bagging
Exporters stream packaging and container loading in real time via WebRTC. Buyers witness bag counts, seals, and loading conditions before dispatch — no surprises on arrival.
Ship With Funds Already Secured
Exporters no longer need to chase invoices across borders. Once the buyer funds escrow, the contract value is locked and release is tied only to documented fulfillment.
Funds Secured Before Dispatch
The exporter can confirm that 100% of the FOB value is sitting in a regulated Tazapay vault before committing goods to the vessel. Payment-default risk is removed.
Release Tied to Verified Delivery
Payout is not arbitrary. Once the Bill of Lading is uploaded, delivery is confirmed, and the dispute window closes, release is automatic or buyer-initiated.
Disputes Freeze Release Until Reviewed
If a formal dispute is filed before payout, the 12-hour escrow release countdown pauses immediately and the status moves to “Escrow Frozen — Under Dispute.” Both parties submit evidence, claim details, and supporting documents into the trade file.
- Funds remain locked in Tazapay while the dispute is reviewed.
- Resolved disputes trigger a 2-hour grace period before auto-release if the original window has passed.
- No new dispute can be filed once the payout status is completed.
