See How Much You Save

Other platforms charge a percentage of the transaction — the more your machine is worth, the more they take. Deposit Guardian never does.

Transaction Value	Typical Escrow Platforms*	Deposit Guardian	Your Saving
$15,000	$375	$149	Save up to $226
$50,000	$1,250	$299	Save up to $951
$100,000	$2,500	$499	Save up to $2,001
$180,000	$4,500	$699	Save up to $3,801
$300,000	$7,500	$899	Save up to $6,601

*Typical escrow-style platforms charge around 2.5% of the transaction value. Deposit Guardian charges a simple flat fee only — no percentage, no card processing markup.

How Your Deposit Actually Moves

Your deposit is sent by direct bank transfer or PayID straight into a dedicated Deposit Guardian holding account — not through a card network or third-party payment platform. That's exactly why we can charge a flat fee instead of a percentage: there's no card processing cost for us to pass on to you. Once you confirm you're satisfied, the funds are released to the seller the same business day.

Once your deposit is confirmed in the Vault, we'll email you a direct link to run your own official PPSR check at ppsr.gov.au — our shout, as a thank you for using Deposit Guardian. (The PPSR search itself is a small government fee, charged by the Australian Government, not by us.)
