If you’ve ever paid someone upfront and then waited, and waited, you already understand why escrow exists. It protects both the person paying and the person doing the work.
1. Escrow in one sentence
Escrow means a trusted third party holds the money until both sides have done what they agreed.
2. How it works on InfluencerBridge
- The business books: a creator or a campaign is confirmed.
- Funds are locked: the business pays and InfluencerBridge holds the money.
- The creator delivers: content is posted and submitted for review.
- The business approves: and the payment is released to the creator’s wallet.
3. Why it protects businesses
You never pay a creator directly upfront. If the work isn’t delivered as agreed, the money hasn’t gone anywhere.
4. Why it protects creators
Before you start working, you can see the booking has been fully funded. No more chasing payments after you’ve posted.
5. What if something goes wrong?
Either side can open a dispute. The funds stay frozen while both sides share evidence and our team reviews the case. The outcome can be a full release, a full refund or a fair split.
Escrow takes the trust problem out of the deal, so both sides can focus on great work.
