What Are Deposit Services?
Deposit services provide a secure way to manage payments between two parties involved in a transaction. In this arrangement, a trusted third party—like Deposit Guardian—holds the funds until all agreed conditions are met by both sides. Only once those conditions are fulfilled does the payment get released.
This process adds an extra layer of protection for both the buyer and the seller, especially in transactions involving significant sums of money or multiple obligations. For example, in the sale of a used car, the buyer may want to confirm the transfer of ownership before releasing funds, while the seller needs assurance of payment before handing over the vehicle. Deposit services ensure both parties are protected throughout.
How Do Deposit Guardian’s Deposit Services Work?
At Deposit Guardian, we act as your neutral third-party partner—safeguarding funds until all transaction terms have been satisfied.
Here’s how our process works:
- Agreement on Terms
The buyer and seller agree on the transaction details, including price, responsibilities, delivery expectations, and any inspection period. - Buyer Deposits Funds
The buyer transfers the agreed funds to Deposit Guardian’s secured account using an approved payment method. We verify the payment and notify the seller once funds are secured. - Delivery of Goods or Services
The seller fulfills their part of the transaction—whether that’s delivering a product, transferring an asset, or providing a service. We can assist with tracking and confirmation where necessary. - Buyer Confirms Receipt
The buyer reviews and approves the delivered goods or services within the agreed timeframe. - Funds Are Released to Seller
Once the buyer approves the transaction, Deposit Guardian releases the funds to the seller. - Transaction Completion
Both parties receive a final transaction summary and confirmation for their records.

Motor Vehicle Transactions
Buying or selling a vehicle? Deposit Guardian provides a secure, neutral platform to manage the exchange of both payment and the vehicle—protecting both parties every step of the way.
Here’s how it works:
- The buyer sends the agreed purchase amount to Deposit Guardian’s secure Holding account.
- Once we verify the funds are in place, we notify the seller to proceed with delivery of the vehicle to the buyer.
- This eliminates the risks associated with fraudulent cheques or fake payment methods, giving the seller peace of mind that the funds are real and securely held.
For the buyer, our holding process ensures you receive the vehicle as described. If it doesn’t match the agreed terms, you have the option to return it—and we’ll refund your payment directly back to you.
Whether you’re dealing with cars, motorcycles, boats, or other vehicles, Deposit Guardian’s Holding Services add a layer of trust, security, and transparency to every transaction.
We specialise in holding deposits, so both parties know that the money is there ready for the transaction once approval is given by the buyer to proceed once he has inspected the vehicle.
General Merchandise Transactions
Whether you’re buying or selling electronics, collectibles, luxury items, or other goods, Deposit Guardian makes it safe and simple to complete transactions across the globe.
By acting as a trusted third party, Deposit Guardian ensures both the buyer and seller are protected throughout the exchange of merchandise and payment.
Here’s how it works:
- The buyer transfers the agreed purchase amount to our secured trust account.
- Once payment is verified, we notify the seller to ship the merchandise.
- This process safeguards against fraudulent payments—giving the seller full confidence that funds are securely held before dispatching goods.
We monitor the shipment and confirm when the merchandise has been delivered to the buyer. At that point, a pre-agreed inspection period begins. During this time, the buyer can review the item to ensure it meets the agreed terms.
Only after the buyer confirms satisfaction do we release funds to the seller.
With Deposit Guardian, buyers get the same level of protection online that they would expect in a traditional, in-person transaction—backed by a process designed to promote trust, reduce risk, and support fair outcomes for all parties involved.
Contracted Services
When engaging professional services—whether it’s design work, photography, marketing, repairs, or other skilled trades—there’s always a level of uncertainty. Will the service be delivered as promised? Will payment be made once the work is complete?
Deposit Guardian helps remove that uncertainty by acting as a secure and neutral third party, protecting both service providers and clients throughout the transaction.
What are Contracted Services?
Contracted services cover a wide range of professional work, including—but not limited to—web and graphic design, marketing, journalism, tailoring, mechanics, photography, and cleaning. Unlike physical goods, the outcome of a service can be subjective and hard to evaluate upfront. That’s where our holding services protection becomes especially valuable.
Here’s how Deposit Guardian’s Holding Services work for service-based transactions:
- The client (buyer) deposits the agreed payment into our secure holding account before work begins.
- The service provider (seller) then completes the job according to the agreed terms and delivers the final result.
- The client has an agreed inspection period to review the work and confirm satisfaction.
- Once approved, Deposit Guardian releases the funds to the service provider.
This system protects both parties—the client knows they won’t pay until the service is delivered to a satisfactory standard, and the provider knows payment is secured before they begin.
With Deposit Guardian, you can confidently enter into service agreements, knowing we’re here to protect your interests from start to finish.
Why Use Holding Account for Services?
Advantages for Consumers
As a client hiring a service provider, using Deposit Guardian adds a powerful layer of protection to your transaction. By placing your payment into our holding account, you avoid the risk of paying for services that don’t meet your expectations.
Unlike paying the service provider directly, your funds are securely held in our Deposit Guardian holding account—and only released once you’re satisfied with the completed work. This structure incentivizes the provider to deliver their best work, knowing that payment is only guaranteed upon successful completion.
If a disagreement arises between you and the service provider, Deposit Guardian steps in as a neutral party to help both sides reach a fair resolution. Our goal is to support the successful completion of your transaction with confidence and clarity.
With Deposit Guardian, you’re not just paying for a service—you’re protecting your investment every step of the way.

- Milestone-based payments, released as key stages of the project are completed.
These arrangements are agreed upfront between you and your client, ensuring clarity and alignment from day one.

The Deposit Guardian Guarantee
Your Protection. Our Priority.
At Deposit Guardian, we make transactions safer by holding funds in our Holding Account until all agreed conditions are met. We call this the Deposit Guardian Guarantee—a system designed to protect both the buyer and the seller from risk.
For buyers, funds aren’t released until you’ve approved the goods or services, giving you full control and confidence. For sellers, knowing that payment is securely held in our trust account means you can deliver with peace of mind, assured that you’ll be paid once the work is completed.
Built on Trust
All funds held through Deposit Guardian are stored in a secure Holding account, established under formal trust obligations. These trust obligations were created to ensure every transaction is handled with the highest level of integrity, transparency, and accountability.
Our duty of care begins the moment we receive funds from a buyer and link them to a verified transaction created within our platform. From that point on, we are committed to safeguarding those funds until the transaction is successfully completed.
With Deposit Guardian, your money—and your trust—is in safe hands.
How Your Funds Are Held
Secure. Dedicated. Protected.
When a buyer submits payment through Deposit Guardian, the funds are securely held in a dedicated Holding account.The full amount is reserved for the intended buyer and seller only. No third party has access to or rights over those funds.
Here’s how we ensure your money is protected:
- Funds are transaction-specific: The money you send is solely held for your transaction and cannot be used for any other purpose or party.
- Clear identification: All funds held in Holding are clearly recorded and tracked in our system, so each user’s balance is distinct and accurate.
- Separation of assets: Funds in Holding are kept entirely separate from Deposit Guardian’s own assets. This means your money is never at risk of being used for operational or business expenses.
While Deposit Guardian provides financial protection through our trust structure, we are not a bank, and balances held in Holding accounts are not covered by government guarantees or financial claims schemes. However, our trust model ensures the same level of transparency and dedicated purpose—giving you peace of mind with every transaction.
