Frequently Asked Questions
Below are answers to the questions we’re asked most ...
… plus a few we think are important too.
While we can’t promise to answer life’s toughest questions, like “Do penguins have knees?” or “Can you cry under water?”, we can definitely answer any escrow payment platform questions you might have.
All questions count, especially when it comes to the safety and security of money, so please don’t be shy to ask. We are here for the sole purpose of ensuring that every transaction you or your business conducts is safe and secure, no matter the size.
If your question isn’t already listed below or you simply need a little more information, drop us a mail at info@truzo.com or make use of the chat bubble in the bottom right corner of the page to talk to one of our support staff, available from 8am-6pm every week day. If you’re in a rush or might lose connectivity, please make sure to include contact details in the chat so we know how to reach you.
Truzo fees are based on a sliding scale depending on the value of the transaction and the payment method chosen. Visit the fees page to see the various available options.
While we strive to keep costs as low as possible, these fees are subject to change. If you’re a subscriber, we’ll be sure to let you know if they do using your preferred method of contact.
Verification should be immediate (thanks to our awesome development team) but it is possible we’ll need to ask for more information and/or do some manual verification which could take up to 24 hours.
No. Verification must be done every 12 months or every time there is a change in personal or business details.
