Escrow payments, explained in plain English

<h2>What escrow actually means</h2><p>When you pay through QOTA, your money sits in a protected account. The contractor sees it's funded — so they know you're serious — but they don't get paid until the job is marked complete.</p><h2>Why this is good for contractors too</h2><p>No more chasing checks. No more "I'll pay you next week." The money is already there, waiting on completion. That makes pros more willing to start fast and quote fairly.</p><h2>What happens if there's a problem</h2><p>If something goes wrong, you can open a dispute before release. Our team reviews the photos, messages, and timeline before any money moves.</p>
