UMNIII branded card for the article on held payments and job protection on the UMNIII marketplace

Held payments protect both sides: funds are reserved up front and released only when work is approved.

That means confidence for clients and predictable cash flow for professionals. With UMNIII Marketplace, every transaction begins with trust. Payments are securely held and released once both parties are satisfied.

Why it works

  • Up-front security for clients: payments are pre-authorised but held securely until project completion.
  • Guaranteed payout on approval: professionals receive funds automatically once work is confirmed as complete.
  • Dispute safeguards: our neutral system helps resolve disagreements quickly, keeping both sides protected.
