Money released only when you confirm The seller is never paid before delivery Full refund if it goes wrong
How it works

Four steps to a safe deal

Everything happens in a normal WhatsApp chat — nothing new to learn.

1

Agree the deal

Buyer and seller agree on the item and price in chat.

2

Buyer pays Trustiva

The buyer pays into a dedicated escrow account — not to the seller directly.

3

Seller delivers

The seller ships, knowing the money is confirmed and waiting.

4

Money is released

Once the buyer confirms, the seller is paid. If not, the buyer is refunded.

Why Trustiva

Online trading in Nigeria runs on trust that isn't there

Buyers
pay and get nothing — or the wrong item
Sellers
lose honest sales because buyers are scared to pay first
Trustiva
sits in the middle so both sides are protected
Who it's for

Made for how Nigerians already trade

🛍️

Buyers

Shop from any WhatsApp, Instagram, or Jiji vendor without the fear of being scammed.

  • Your money is safe until you confirm delivery
  • Full refund if the item never arrives
🏪

Sellers & vendors

Close more sales by showing buyers they're protected — and get paid reliably.

  • Buyers trust you enough to pay upfront
  • Payment confirmed before you ship
🗣️

In your language Coming soon

Not everyone does business in English. Trustiva will speak Hausa and Nigerian Pidgin as well as English — every step, from the order to the payment details to disputes and support.

  • Checked by native speakers, not machine translation — money words must be exact
  • A Hausa buyer and an English seller can trade together — each sees Trustiva in their own language

Questions

Good to know

Do I need to download an app?

No. Trustiva works right inside WhatsApp, where you already chat and trade.

Who holds my money?

Your payment goes into a dedicated escrow account, not to the seller. It is released only when you confirm the item arrived, or refunded to you if it doesn't. We are finalising our licensed banking partner, who will hold escrow funds; we'll name them here before we launch.

What does it cost?

Joining the waitlist is free. Trustiva charges 1.5% to the buyer and 1.5% to the seller — never more than ₦10,000 each, however big the order. You'll always see it before you agree.

Can I use Trustiva in Hausa or Pidgin?

Soon. Trustiva will work in English, Hausa and Nigerian Pidgin on WhatsApp — you choose your language once and can switch any time. Native speakers are checking every message before we switch them on. Until then, everything is in English.

When are you launching?

Soon. Join the waitlist and you'll be among the first to know and to trade safely.

About us

Why we're building Trustiva

Every day, Nigerians buy and sell on WhatsApp and Instagram with people they've never met. Too often the buyer pays and the goods never come, or the seller sends the goods and the money never arrives. Trustiva exists to remove that fear.

Trustiva International Ltd is a Nigerian company, registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission (RC 9270707) and based in Abuja. We were founded in February 2026 to bring simple, fair escrow to the place people already trade: WhatsApp. The buyer's money is held safely until they confirm delivery, and only then released to the seller.
