CashGuard makes it easy to pay and get paid for home renovations and other project work without the risk. It is an online payment platform that is backed by National Bank of Canada and protected by an escrow system.

All project funds are secured in a National Bank of Canada account until both parties agree to release the funds as project payment.

An escrow service can provide several benefits for the contractor involved in the project. Here are some advantages that contractors can derive from using an escrow service:

  1. Payment Security: Contractors can benefit from the assurance of payment security when using CashGuard. By having the funds held in escrow, the contractor knows that payment will be made once the agreed-upon conditions or milestones are met. This reduces the risk of non-payment or delayed payments, providing financial stability to the contractor.

  2. Trust and Credibility: Utilizing CashGuard can enhance the contractor’s credibility and reputation in the eyes of homeowners. It demonstrates a commitment to fair and transparent payment practices, which can attract more clients and lead to positive referrals.

  3. Dispute Resolution Assistance: In the event of conflicts or disagreements between the homeowner and contractor, having funding held in a secure escrow account can help facilitate communication. This can save contractors time, energy, and potential legal expenses.

  4. Streamlined Payment Process: CashGuard offer a streamlined payment process for contractors. Once the project milestones or conditions are met, the funds are released from escrow, ensuring prompt and efficient payment. Contractors can have better cash flow management, allowing them to focus on their work rather than chasing payments.

  5. Reduced Collection Efforts: Contractors using CashGuard can minimize the need for extensive collection efforts. Since the funds are held securely, there is less risk of late or non-payment. This eliminates the need for contractors to spend time and resources on pursuing payments or engaging in lengthy payment disputes.
