How milestone escrow protects diaspora investors

Sending money home for a building you cannot see is a leap of faith. Here is how bank-held escrow and independent verification change that.

Many Nigerians abroad have a story about money sent home for a house that was delivered late, built poorly or never finished. The problem is rarely bad intentions alone. It is that money moves before progress is proven.

Pay into escrow, not into a personal account

On Escropro, your money is held by a licensed partner bank acting as escrow agent. The developer cannot spend it until a stage of work has been completed and checked.

Every stage is verified on site

Before any release, an Independent Project Monitor registered with COREN or NIQS visits the site, inspects the work against the agreed plan and records geotagged, time-stamped evidence.

You see what happened, from anywhere

Each milestone produces a report you can open on your phone, whether you are in Lagos, London or Houston.

Your money moves only when the building does.
