You pay and then you hope
Two out of five brands say a creator went dark after the money hit their wallet. That is time and budget you never get back.
Payment protection
Get the work delivered. Every time.
You fund the campaign into Keepface Escrow. The creator delivers. You approve. Money releases the same day. No more sending five figures on trust alone.

The old way
Paying a creator upfront is the fastest way to lose sleep.
Creators wait weeks to get paid
Small creators write off around a quarter of the work they deliver because payment terms drift. Talent stops replying to brands who ghost on invoices.
Refund fights kill the relationship
Chargebacks and DM screenshots turn a marketing budget into a legal dispute. Nobody wants to work with each other again.
How it works
Four steps from brief to release.
You never lose visibility. The money is either with you, in escrow, or with the creator. Nowhere else.
You agree the brief and the price
Brand and creator sign off on the deliverables checklist in Keepface. Everything both sides expect is on the page.
Brand funds the escrow
Money moves from your Keepface wallet into a ring-fenced escrow balance. Card, bank transfer, or Keepcoin all work.
Creator delivers the content
Posts go live. Screenshots, tracked links, and analytics all land in the campaign dashboard for you to review.
You approve. Money releases the same day
One click, funds move to the creator wallet. If something is off, open a mediation ticket and our team steps in within 24 hours.
What you get
Everything you need to run a campaign without the trust fall.
Multi-currency escrow
Hold funds in USD, EUR, TRY, AZN or KPC. Payout goes to the creator in their preferred currency.
Milestone releases
Split payment into stages: 30% on story, 40% on reel, 30% on wrap. Each milestone releases on its own approval.
Deliverable checklist
Both sides tick off posts, stories and tracking links as they go live. No fuzzy definition of "done".
Mediation team on call
When a dispute opens, a real human from Keepface reads both sides and proposes a split within one business day.
Same day release
Once you approve, the creator sees the money in their wallet inside 24 hours. Faster than any bank transfer.
Chargeback shield
Escrow funds sit under Keepface. If a card issuer reverses the charge later, we hold the shortfall, not the creator.

In their words
Brands and creators who stopped playing chicken.
"We used to lose sleep sending five figures to a creator we had never met. Escrow flipped that. Now the money sits with Keepface and we release when the work is up."

"The mediation team is the reason we stay on the platform. A creator once claimed we changed the brief mid-campaign. Keepface read the chat log and settled it in a day."

"As a creator I only book Escrow briefs now. The money is already there. I do not need to send three emails asking when I will get paid."

Questions
What buyers ask before their first escrow.
How much does Escrow cost?
A 5% fee on the campaign amount, capped at $500 per campaign. No monthly subscription, no per-user pricing. You pay only when a campaign actually runs.
What happens if the creator never delivers?
You open a dispute inside the campaign dashboard. Our mediation team reviews the brief, the messages, and any partial work delivered. In most cases you get a full refund within three business days.
Can I run a campaign with more than one creator on the same escrow?
Yes. The escrow balance is per campaign, and every creator on that campaign has their own line item. Approvals and releases happen creator by creator.
Which payment methods can I use to fund the escrow?
Card (Visa / Mastercard / Amex), local bank transfer in eight currencies, and your existing Keepcoin wallet balance. Corporate SEPA and wire transfers work for balances above $5,000.
Is Escrow the same as the Managed Service?
No. Escrow is only about the money and the deliverables checklist. Managed Service means our team also runs the campaign for you. You can combine them, but they are two separate SKUs.
Do influencers pay any fee to use Escrow?
No. The escrow fee is on the brand side. Creators keep 100% of the agreed payout, minus their normal payout method fee (bank / Wise / Keepcoin).
Stop trusting strangers with five figures.
Fund one campaign. See how easy the release is. If you do not love it, walk away, no monthly cost lost.
