The Problem

Trust is falling.
Fraud isn't.

Every day, Australians and Australian organisations lose money to scams, no-shows, fake listings, dodgy workmanship and chargebacks. The problem isn't the people. It's that nothing holds both sides accountable.

TrustEcho was built to fix that.

What TrustEcho Is

A safer way to transact, agreed by both sides, before money moves.

01

What's being exchanged

Both parties confirm exactly what the deal covers.

02

The payment amount

Agreed up front. Locked in. No moving goalposts.

03

Delivery or completion

Clear conditions for when the job is considered done.

04

When funds release

Payment moves only when both sides confirm.

FAQ

Common questions.

Still wondering? Visit the full FAQ or talk to us.

How does TrustEcho protect me?+

Money is only released when both parties confirm the transaction is complete. Until then, funds are held safely and neither side can run off with them.

Is TrustEcho an escrow or payment processor?+

No. TrustEcho is a transaction accountability platform. It coordinates agreement, completion and release of funds between two parties, focused on trust rather than moving money for its own sake.

What kinds of transactions can I use it for?+

Anything where two parties need to trust each other: marketplace sales, vehicle handovers, tradie jobs, property deposits, contractor milestones, grant payments, defence procurement, government projects and enterprise supply chains.

How fast can I get started?+

Minutes. Create a transaction, invite the other party and confirm the details. You're protected from there.

What happens if there's a dispute?+

Every step is recorded and timestamped. If something goes wrong, both parties have a clear, factual record, making resolution faster and fairer.
