How Adana Protects Buyers and Sellers
How Adana protects buyers and sellers with escrow, delivery verification, payment matching, and dispute holds for safer commerce in Nigeria.
Published 25 July 2026
Adana is escrow infrastructure for African logistics and e-commerce. Buyers get confidence that money is held until delivery is real. Sellers get proof of funding before they ship.
Protection for buyers
You pay into escrow, not into an unverified personal account. Confirmation and delivery OTP flows help ensure release happens after handoff. If something is wrong, disputes can keep funds locked while evidence is reviewed.
Protection for sellers
You can wait for escrow-funded status before dispatch — a defence against fake alerts. After verified confirmation, payout follows the Adana release process instead of chasing COD remittances.
Built for real Nigerian payment behaviour
Invoices, bank transfer details, and required narration/reference matching reflect how people actually pay. Marketplace partners can also integrate the Delivery Assurance API for programmable escrow checkout.
