Trust, engineered into every transaction.
We started Intasef because too many good deals fall apart over a simple question: who pays first? We build the escrow layer so nobody has to ask.
The principles behind the product.
Fairness by default
Neither side should have to trust the other blindly. Escrow makes fairness the default, not a favor.
Speed without shortcuts
Fast settlement shouldn't mean cutting corners on security. We hold both to the same standard.
Built for East Africa
Local rails, local currencies, local support — designed around how people here actually transact.
Small team, high accountability.
