Pay Travo, not strangers.
Your money sits safely with Travo until the job is done and proven — the truck arrived, the parcel was delivered, the goods passed inspection. Only then does the other side get paid.
"Pay first" is how people get burned
In informal transport and trade, someone always has to trust a stranger with their money before anything happens. When the other side cancels, disappears, or disputes what was agreed — the money is already gone.
- Paying before a vehicle ever arrives
- Paying before a parcel is collected
- Paying before goods are delivered
- Paying movers before the job is finished
- Paying for haulage before the truck reaches its destination
- Paying a seller you've never met for goods you've never seen
Four steps between you and getting burned
Agree the terms
Job, price, and the exact evidence that releases payment — written into the transaction before any money moves.
Pay Travo
You fund the transaction with Travo — not the driver, mover, or seller. Both sides can see the money is real and held.
Evidence comes in
Pickup photos, arrival confirmation, delivery PIN, inspection report — the proof you chose, delivered in real time.
Release or refund
Evidence confirmed → the provider or seller is paid. Provider never shows → your money comes back.
Evidence that moves money
You choose which of these must exist before a single naira is released.
Pickup completed
Photos of the goods at collection, timestamped.
Vehicle arrived
Driver on site, confirmed by you or your recipient.
Parcel delivered
Photo proof of delivery with the recipient.
Recipient PIN
A one-time code only your recipient can give the driver.
Customer approval
You confirm completion before funds move.
Goods reached warehouse
Checked in and counted at a Travo facility.
Inventory delivered
Moving checklist ticked off item by item at the new address.
Photo & video evidence
Condition, quantity and packaging documented at any stage.
Shaped to the job
Full escrow
100% held, 100% released on completion. The cleanest protection for one-shot jobs.
Best for: deliveries & purchasesDeposit + completion balance
A mobilisation deposit releases on pickup or arrival; the balance releases when the job is done.
Best for: moving jobsMilestone payments
Funds split across agreed stages — collected, in transit, delivered — each released on its own evidence.
Best for: multi-stage projectsPartial release for multi-day haulage
Long routes release in legs, so the transporter is never unpaid for days and you're never fully exposed.
Best for: interstate truckingDispute hold
If either side raises an issue, the disputed amount freezes until the evidence is reviewed — nobody can run with the money.
Built into every transactionNo-show refund
Provider cancels or never attends? Your full amount returns to you — not into an argument.
Built into every transactionEscrow with eyes on the ground
Online escrow can hold money — but it can't tell you whether the maize is dry, the phones are genuine, or the container holds what the invoice says. Travo can, because we're the ones physically collecting the goods.
Our team inspects at the point of collection and streams the evidence — photos, video, counts, weights — to whoever is paying, in real time. The buyer (or their financier) confirms what they see. Only then is the seller paid, and the goods are already in our custody for delivery.
Buying from sellers you've never met
Instagram vendors, marketplace sellers, wholesale suppliers — pay for what's real, not what was advertised.
Commodity collection upcountry
Buying grain, produce or livestock feed from aggregators and farm gates you can't visit yourself.
Vehicles, machinery & equipment
High-value single items where one wrong payment is a catastrophe — cars, generators, plant and factory equipment.
Cross-border & diaspora trade
Funding purchases in Nigeria from abroad, or paying Nigerian suppliers for export cargo — without flying in to check.
The difference: we're not just holding money — we're holding the goods
A payment platform sees a transaction. Travo sees the cargo. Because our own team does the pickup, every SecurePay trade comes with physical verification built in:
- Condition and quantity checked against what was agreed, at collection
- Live photo and video evidence to the buyer — or the bank or partner funding the deal
- Approval from whoever controls the money, before the seller sees a naira
- Goods in Travo custody from inspection to delivery — no gap for switching or shrinkage
Both sides win when nobody has to trust blindly
SecurePay protects buyers — and it helps honest providers and sellers close deals that fear was blocking.
🧍 Everyday customers
Book movers, trucks and dispatch without the "pay first and pray" gamble.
🛒 Online shoppers
Buy from vendors you found on social media, with inspection before payment.
🏢 Traders & SMEs
Source stock and commodities from suppliers you can't personally visit.
🏦 Financiers & partners
Banks, cooperatives and trade funders get verified evidence before disbursing against goods.
Disputes with evidence, not arguments
Most disputes in transport are one person's word against another's. SecurePay transactions are different: the terms were written down and the evidence was collected as the job ran. Resolution starts from facts.
While a dispute is open, the disputed amount stays frozen — the provider can't be cheated out of honest work, and you can't be cheated out of your money.
