SafeHold escrow
Your money moves only when you say so
Every job on Serproz is paid through SafeHold. Funds are held per milestone and released when you approve the work — on big jobs, that means paying stage by stage, never everything upfront.
No lead fees. A fee only when the job completes.
How SafeHold works1. Fund the milestone
Your payment goes into hold — not to the tradie.
2. The work happens
Funds stay held while the job is underway.
3. You approve, we release
Money moves only when you confirm the milestone is done.
Verification
Checked against the official register
Anyone can claim to be licensed. We look it up at the source.
- Licence numbers are checked against the official register — not a document upload.
- Verified licences are re-checked on a schedule; a lapsed licence loses its badge.
- Companies are matched to their NZBN business record.

How it works
Post, compare, pay on your terms
Post your job
Describe the work — or pick a fixed-price service and a time that suits. It's free, and tradies never pay to see it.
Compare verified quotes
Licence-checked pros quote with a clear milestone plan. Every badge traces back to the official register.
Pay into SafeHold
Fund each milestone as it starts. The money is released to your tradie only when you approve the work.
The difference
Lead-gen marketplaces sell your job. We hold your money.
| Typical lead-gen marketplace | Serproz | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost to quote | Tradies pay per lead or a subscription — win or lose | Free to quote. A success fee only when the job completes |
| Your payment | Paid direct to the tradie, upfront or on invoice | Held in SafeHold, released when you approve the work |
| Vetting | Self-declared details or document uploads | Licences checked against the official register (PGDB / EWRB) plus NZBN |
| If something goes wrong | You sort it out between yourselves | A published 4-stage dispute process with SLAs and written rationale |
