Built for operators

Get paid faster — and stop losing bookings to "send it to my account" distrust.

Escrow is the reason guests actually pull out their card. AgentStarc collects the money the moment they book, holds it in your name, and drops it into your bank after check-in. You keep more bookings, skip the awkward "please confirm you sent it" chats, and never wonder if a payout is coming.

1 · Guests pay you upfront

The card is charged the second they confirm — no chasing, no maybes.

Payments run through Paystack, the same rails Nigerian banks and airlines use. You don't touch card details, and you don't wait on a screenshot of a transfer. The booking is locked in the moment the payment clears, and your dashboard shows the reference in seconds.

2 · The money is locked in your name

Funds sit in escrow with your booking attached — no chargebacks by surprise.

While the money is held, the guest can see it's committed and you can see the booking is real. If they cancel inside your policy, the refund comes out of escrow — not out of your operating account. You never front cash for a guest who backed out, and you never argue with a bank about a disputed transfer.

3 · It hits your bank after check-in

Payouts auto-release on check-in day and settle in about one business day.

The second the guest checks in, escrow releases and the transfer to your Nigerian bank starts. Most payouts land within one business day, and every payment on your dashboard shows exactly when the money will hit. No more spreadsheet reconciliations, no more "did that guest ever pay?"

Tools that convert more guests

Verified badge, human handoff, one-tap refunds.

  • Verified badge lifts bookings. CAC or Instagram proof unlocks a trust badge on your agent page — verified operators convert 3–4× better than unverified listings.
  • Human handoff saves deals. When the AI can't close it, the guest is routed to your WhatsApp instantly. You never lose a lead to a bot dead-end.
  • One-tap refunds keep reviews clean. Cancellations refund from escrow automatically — no support tickets, no angry follow-ups.
  • Every payout on one timeline. See what's in escrow, what's released, and what's landing in your bank — all in one view.
Why guests trust it

You can point any hesitant guest to the same guarantee.

Tell them: their card is charged, but the money doesn't move to you until they check in. If the place doesn't exist or you disappear, they get a full refund with one tap. It's the sentence that turns "I'll think about it" into a paid booking.
