If a payment is disputed

Proof, from your bank.

Proof from supported banks, using Sargo Verifier.

Sargo Verifier checks the payment in your own bank’s records. It is tied to this order and submitted for review. Where your bank is not supported, the order goes to manual review.

Sargo Verifier processes your authenticated bank-session data, and some proof fields may be recorded on a public blockchain. See the Privacy Policy.

    ID verification.

    A USDT or USDC float.

    In your own wallet, on Celo or Base.

  3. 03

    A payment account in your own name.

What if the consumer never confirms?

Once the order’s deadline passes you can raise a dispute. It is submitted for review, and the crypto stays in escrow meanwhile.
