What is Vesicash?
Vesicash is an Instant digital escrow system that ensures payment security for parties involved in a transaction by providing a transparent and accountable transaction process.
What is escrow?
In an escrow transaction, a trusted third party serves as an intermediary and holds funds securely until the terms of the transaction are met and both transacting parties are satisfied before the funds are released to the seller/service provider.
Why use escrow?
Vesicash escrow is needed to provide payment security for the transacting parties and ensure that both parties are protected at all stages of a transaction.
Who holds the money?
For each transaction created on Vesicash, a dedicated unique escrow account is generated. The provisioned trust account is tied to the transacting parties and the transaction, and the funds are held securely in this account until the transaction is completed, after which the account is closed.
When can I use Vesicash?
Vesicash is designed to give peace of mind whenever you are in doubt or are doing business with someone you don’t know. Vesicash uses Two-factor authorisation to validate that transaction terms have been met before payment is released.
Who can use Vesicash?
Vesicash can be used by individuals and businesses that need payment security for their transactions. Businesses like Marketplace platforms who cater to two sets of users (Buyers and Sellers) can also use Vesicash to facilitate trust between transacting parties on their platform.

How are transaction disputes resolved?
When creating a transaction, users are asked to choose which of the available dispute resolution options (Mutual resolution or Third-party resolution) they would prefer. Should a dispute arise over the course of a transaction, they will need to come to a resolution depending on the option they selected. While a transaction is in dispute, the funds remain in escrow and are not released until a mutual resolution has been reached
