In Escrow & safety

When are funds released to the vendor?

Release happens on delivery confirmation

The moment you confirm your order arrived, Vergeo5 releases the held funds and pays the vendor. Confirming early is a kindness to small businesses — it speeds up their payout.

Automatic fallbacks

If you forget to confirm, escrow still releases safely:

  • 48 hours after an order is marked delivered, it auto-confirms.
  • 7 days after shipping, as a final fallback if delivery was never recorded.

Vendor payout timing

Once released, vendors are paid out within 48 hours — usually in minutes on mobile money. Bank transfers can take 24–36 hours.

If you have a problem, report it before the confirmation window closes so funds stay in escrow while we help.
