TrustEcho Platform

Trust before money moves.

TrustEcho is developing a clearer way for buyers and sellers to document what was agreed and manage private transactions through a structured, Stripe-connected process.

TrustEcho is currently accepting early-access enquiries. Transactions cannot yet be initiated through this website.

Clear terms before payment•Better visibility for both parties•A documented transaction process
The Problem

Private transactions should not rely on blind trust.

Buyers and sellers who have never dealt with each other before often have little more than a message thread and good faith to go on.

TrustEcho is being developed to add a structured process before, during and after the transaction.

Unclear expectations
Buyers and sellers can have different understandings of what was promised, when delivery will happen and when payment should be completed.
Limited visibility
Once money or goods change hands, it can be difficult to know what is happening or what evidence has been retained.
Transactions between strangers
Marketplace sales, vehicle purchases and trade work often involve people who have never dealt with each other before.

TrustEcho is being developed to help both parties record what is being exchanged, the agreed amount and the conditions for delivery or completion.

Both parties confirm exactly what the deal covers.

02

The payment amount

Agreed up front, recorded clearly for both sides.

04

Shared confirmation

Both parties review the same transaction details before proceeding.
