IPromise

IPromise IPromise secures client payment before a project or service is started so businesses receive immediate payment on successful project completion.

IPromise is a software as a service tool, (SaaS) that provides an easy way to enable both Suppliers and Clients to commit to undertaking jobs and providing services without the concern of payment once it has been completed. It’s the clear way to pay. We love to see businesses succeed and are committed to supporting our customers to become more productive and efficient while providing an amazing se

rvice to their Clients. We also love to see the Clients using IPromise receiving fantastic project outcomes delivered through secure and protected payments, delivered by the work of amazing Suppliers using IPromise. Simply put, the genesis of our solution is to Secure and Protect payments and reduce unnecessary administration time to give you the ability to focus on the task at hand, and free up more of your time to pursue the things you love. We hate to see businesses spending unnecessary amounts of time on administrative tasks (like chasing invoices, or managing projects across multiple platforms), losing out on business opportunities, waiting for payments for completed work, or worse – not receiving payment at all. We also hate to see Clients using IPromise unsatisfied with the job delivered, or a job only half done. Our solution is built to address these problems, and more.

It's stories like this from Stuff that show just how risky paying a big deposit upfront can be, like paying $37,500 for a cabin that was never delivered. 🏠

When trust is all you have, things can go terribly wrong. That’s why IPromise exists, to give you true deposit protection.

🔒 With IPromise, your payment isn’t handed over to a contractor or seller. It’s held securely in escrow until you confirm the work is done.

✅ No more hoping they’re legit
✅ No more worrying if your money disappears
✅ No more deposit-driven stress

If you’re buying a cabin, hiring a builder, or contracting renovation or construction work, put your deposit where it belongs: in trust, until delivery.

Disturbing but all too common recent example: A Waikato tradie allegedly took deposits from dozens of clients, then failed to complete the work, leaving families out of pocket and facing financial stress. 😤

Stories like this show a hard truth: paying upfront to a contractor or builder before work has been done can be very risky. 🤞

That’s exactly the problem IPromise solves.

🔐 With IPromise:

Deposits are held securely in escrow, not given directly to the tradie. Funds sit safely until the work is finished - protecting customers.

Clear agreement and transparency between parties from the start, reducing misunderstandings and protecting reputations.

If you're hiring someone from a marketplace, getting a quote online, or even arranging construction work, IPromise provides certainty and peace of mind.

In a time when contractor fraud, unpaid deposits and failed jobs are increasingly common, isn’t it worth doing business the safer, smarter way?

PS: Reputable suppliers love using IPromise as well because they know their customer can pay and the money is secured before they start work. No more chasing unpaid invoices. Win Win. 😊

This recent story by Hannah Bartlett struck a chord: an architectural designer took a woman to the Disputes Tribunal over an unpaid invoice - but there was no signed contract, no formal agreement, just “optimism” and misunderstandings.

This is exactly the kind of risk that IPromise helps avoid. Here’s how we make things safer:

💼 Secure Funds Before Work - With IPromise, your payment is held in escrow before work begins, so both parties are aligned on commitment.

🔐 No More Chasing Invoices - Our system automates payment release when the job is approved, eliminating the frustration, uncertainty, and legal grey zones.

🤝 Trust + Transparency - Both buyer and provider agree on terms upfront, making misunderstandings and “overly optimistic” expectations far less likely.

In situations like the Disputes Tribunal case, IPromise would have provided clarity for both sides - and potentially prevented conflict entirely.

If you’re working with clients on design, trade, or consultancy work and want payment certainty, let’s talk.

With IPromise, you get:

✅ Deposit protection - no unsecured upfront payments

✅ Assurance for buyers and sellers - knowing funds are held securely until terms are met
