Hey our escrow feature for crypto payments is now live 🎉 🎉

For starters, an escrow offers a safe deposit box which automatically disburses when both parties agree that contract has been satisfied.

Traditionally this service involves having an intermediary, taking a hefty commission cut.

But with Request Finance, you now have access to escrow using smart contract, with just a $2 flat fee per payment, paid for by the payer 🥳

Try it out and let us know what you think on Discord or via our Intercom Feature on the website.
