Hiring someone you've never met? wlbr lets you pay into a protected account instead of handing money over directly - so your payment is safe until the work is done to your satisfaction.
Instead of paying the tradie directly, your payment goes into a protected trust account - safe until you confirm the work is done right.
Fund a deposit into escrow so the tradie can start, but your money isn't gone if something goes wrong before they do.
You hold the leverage at the moment it matters most - funds are released only when you approve the completed work.
If there's a genuine problem, the affected funds are paused while it's resolved, rather than already spent.

If something goes wrong: either side can raise a dispute. The funds freeze in the trust account - neither side can touch them - while both add evidence. Resolution releases, refunds, or splits the money. Unresolved disputes can escalate to FSCL, an approved independent scheme.
Instant, AI-powered NZD price ranges based on real jobs.
No monthly fees, no lock-in. A flat 1.9% + GST per payment, shown clearly before anyone pays.
