Think of TrustWork as a referee both sides trust.

Money goes into a vault. The vault only opens when both sides agree. Even a child gets it.

Rahul needs a logo. Arjun can design it.

They agree on ₹15,000. But Rahul is scared Arjun might ghost. And Arjun is scared Rahul might never pay. Both are stuck.

Payment locked safely

TrustWork sends a UPI payment link. The business pays the full project amount — it goes into an RBI-regulated escrow account. The freelancer can see the money is locked and waiting. No one can touch it until work is approved.

Why TrustWork

Built for both sides of every gig.

Payment guaranteed before you start

See your money locked in escrow before writing a single line or opening any design tool. It's there. It's yours.

Auto-release — no chasing

If your client doesn't respond within 72 hours of submission, your payment releases to your UPI automatically.

Portable trust score

Every completed gig builds your TrustWork reputation score. Share your profile link when pitching new clients.

No app. No sign-up.

Works entirely inside WhatsApp — the app you already use. KYC takes under 2 minutes. No download. No password.

Your money is held by a regulated bank — not by us.

TrustWork is a trust layer, not a bank. Every rupee goes into an RBI-regulated escrow account.

How escrow works

When a business creates a gig on TrustWork, the payment goes directly into an escrow account held by a licensed Payment Aggregator. TrustWork cannot touch this money. The only trigger for release is your approval — or the 72-hour auto-release if you do not respond.
