Deela sits between the buyer and seller so neither side has to go first.

The buyer pays Deela — not the seller. Funds are locked safely until the deal is done.
The seller ships and marks delivered. The buyer inspects within the agreed window.
Happy? Funds hit the seller instantly. Not happy? Deela mediates with evidence & AI.
From the first message to the final payout — Deela has the whole transaction covered.
Money is held by Deela, never the counterparty. The seller only gets paid after the buyer confirms delivery — so nobody has to send first.
Every chat and deal is scanned in real time. Off-platform payment requests and risky deals get flagged before money moves.
Release a deal and the seller is paid in seconds — to any of 250+ Nigerian banks, microfinance banks and fintech apps.
Upload evidence, get a neutral AI case summary, and let Deela’s team resolve fairly — typically within a 48-hour SLA.
A 4-digit transaction PIN plus Face ID / Touch ID app lock. Your account and your escrow balance stay protected, even if your phone is lost.
Talk to your counterparty without sharing your number — and with the AI scam scanner watching every message.
Deela uses frontier AI to keep transactions safe and effortless — quietly working in the background so you don’t have to be the expert.
Flagged — possible scam
Attempt to move payment off-platform to a direct bank transfer. Keep funds in escrow.

The short answers to the things people ask most.
Escrow means a neutral third party (Deela) holds the buyer's money until the deal is complete. The seller only gets paid after the buyer confirms they received what was promised.
Funds stay locked in escrow and are processed through licensed payment infrastructure. The seller can't touch the money until you release it, and disputes are mediated fairly.
Over 250 Nigerian banks, microfinance banks and fintech apps. We resolve and verify your account name before any payout.
You can start instantly at Tier 1 (up to ₦50,000). Add your BVN and a verified email for Tier 2 (up to ₦500,000), and NIN + government ID + proof of address for Tier 3 (no limit).
A small, transparent escrow fee per deal — shown clearly before you pay, and can be paid by buyer or seller or split between both parties. No hidden charges.
Open a dispute, add evidence (photos, receipts, chat). Deela reviews with an AI-assisted summary and resolves — releasing or refunding based on the outcome.
Join the marketplace where the money is protected and the fraud gets caught — before it costs you.
