    Two ways to use Intasef

    Which one are you?

    Pick the mode that matches how you get paid. Either way, the money stays protected until the deal is done.

    How it works

    Three steps. Zero blind trust.

    Every deal runs on a single secure link. Funds stay locked until both sides agree it's done.

    1

    Create or accept a deal

    The seller or freelancer generates a secure escrow link in seconds, or accepts an invite.

    2

    Buyer funds escrow

    Money is locked in the vault — visible to both parties, released to no one.

    3

    Deliver, confirm, release

    Once the buyer confirms, funds settle instantly to the seller's chosen rail.

    Freelancer mode

    Get paid for your work. Every milestone, every time.

    You've done the work — the last thing you should worry about is whether payment is coming. Intasef's project escrow locks the client's money before you start, and releases it the moment each milestone is approved.

    Milestone-based escrow

    Break any project into stages. The client funds each milestone upfront — you deliver, they approve, you get paid. Repeat until done.

    Smart escrow link

    Share one link. The client signs up right there, with the project already on their dashboard. No re-clicking, no confusion, no friction.

    Full visibility for both sides

    Freelancer and client both see the escrowed amount, milestone status, and payment history in real time. No surprises.

    Real-time notifications

    Both parties are notified at every step — when funds lock, when a milestone is submitted, and when payment releases. Always in the loop.
