We're excited to announce Milestone Escrow, a new way to structure service payments on Saharix. Instead of paying everything upfront or waiting until the very end, both parties agree on distinct milestones — each with a clear deliverable and a defined payment attached.
Why milestones?
Traditional escrow for services puts all the risk at the end — either the client pays before delivery or the provider delivers without any guarantee of payment. Milestone Escrow removes this tension entirely. Funds are released only when a milestone is verified, and both parties retain control throughout.
How it works
The Client creates the contract, defines milestones with amounts, and funds the escrow. The Provider delivers work for each milestone and submits evidence. The Client reviews and approves — triggering the payout. No disputes, no chargebacks, just accountable collaboration.
Who is it for?
Milestone Escrow is designed for freelancers, software agencies, construction contractors, design firms, and any professional services business operating in Africa. If your work has stages, Saharix is built for you.
Availability
Milestone Escrow is available now on Saharix for NGN transactions. Support for GHS and KES is coming in Q1 2024.
