TrustBridge ET is a digital escrow platform that acts as a trusted third party, holding funds securely until all transaction obligations are fulfilled — protecting both buyers and sellers in Ethiopia's digital economy.
Ethiopia's digital economy is growing rapidly, yet the critical infrastructure of
trust is missing. Every day, thousands of transactions fail not because of
willingness to trade — but because of the absence of a reliable intermediary.
TrustBridge ET was founded to solve this fundamental problem: create a platform
where any Ethiopian — from a freelancer in Addis Ababa to an agricultural trader in
Hawassa — can transact with complete confidence, knowing their funds are protected
until they receive exactly what was promised.
Ethiopia's e-commerce growth is stalled by a fundamental trust deficit. Without secure intermediaries, buyers and sellers carry all the risk.
A simple, five-step flow that protects every party and eliminates the risk from digital transactions.
Your money never reaches the seller until you confirm delivery of what was promised — no exceptions.
Sellers transact knowing funds are already secured and waiting — eliminating non-payment risk entirely.
Dedicated arbitration team resolves disputes within 72 hours with evidence-based impartial decisions.
Every step is logged, timestamped, and auditable — providing complete transparency for all parties.
1.5–3% per transaction on all escrow services. Primary and most scalable revenue driver.
Monthly/annual plans offering higher transaction limits, priority support, and advanced analytics.
Custom B2B escrow solutions for large businesses, banks, and government procurement.
Usage-based API pricing for platforms embedding TrustBridge ET escrow infrastructure.
Revenue sharing with banks, telecom operators, and e-commerce platforms.
A battle-tested, scalable stack chosen for security, speed, and Ethiopian payment compatibility.
TrustBridge ET is designed from the ground up to meet Ethiopia's regulatory requirements and international standards.
