Buying and selling online shouldn’t require blind trust

Every day, Nigerians buy and sell to people they’ve never met, on WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook Marketplace, and classifieds sites. It usually works out. But when it doesn’t, there’s no recourse: pay first and the seller can vanish, or a seller ships first and never gets paid.

Clario exists to remove that risk. A buyer pays into escrow, not into the seller’s pocket. The seller only gets paid once the buyer confirms the deal went as agreed. If it didn’t, either side can raise a dispute and a real person reviews it. Nobody has to trust a stranger. They can trust the process instead.

What we care about

Security first

Funds are held in escrow, releases require a transaction PIN, and every deal is logged and auditable. Money only moves when it's supposed to.

Fair to both sides

Escrow isn't just buyer protection. Sellers get certainty too: once a deal is held, the money is real, not a promise.

Built for how Nigeria actually pays

Not everyone has a smartphone or data. Every core feature of Clario, from creating a deal to confirming delivery, also works over USSD.

Real dispute resolution

When something goes wrong, a real person reviews the evidence and makes a call. It's not an automated black box.
