Know the launch boundary
IbaadU records marketplace orders and related workflow data. IbaadU is not a bank, licensed payment service provider or escrow agent, and it does not automatically hold buyer funds.
No automatic protection: a listing, PRQ, quote, invoice or order page does not mean escrow is active. Escrow or managed payment exists only when both parties receive and accept written terms from an identified, appropriately regulated provider for that specific transaction.
Before making a payment
Freeze the commercial terms
Record product specifications, quantity, currency, Incoterm, inspection, delivery, acceptance and dispute terms.
Verify instructions independently
Confirm bank-detail changes through a second trusted channel. Do not rely only on a new email or chat message.
Confirm the provider
For escrow, verify the provider's identity, regulation, fees, release conditions and complaint process before sending funds.
Red flags
Changed beneficiary
A last-minute request to pay a different company, person, country or wallet.
Pressure or secrecy
Urgency, requests to move communication off-platform, or refusal to document terms.
Credential request
Requests for passwords, one-time codes, full card data, remote access or private keys.
Frequently asked questions
Can I request an escrow introduction?
You may ask IbaadU to review the requirement. Availability is case-specific and is not guaranteed.
Does IbaadU guarantee delivery or payment?
No. Buyers and vendors remain responsible for due diligence and contractual terms unless a separate written provider agreement says otherwise.
What should I include in an enquiry?
Include the order reference, parties, countries, value, currency, delivery milestones and requested protection. Do not include credentials.
