Escrow platform · AI legal-information assistant

Safe payments, held by a licensed partner.

How Mapeico works

Agree on terms
You and the other party set the amount, due date, and what counts as delivery.
Fund the escrow
Funds go into a segregated escrow account at a licensed partner — never on our books.
Release or dispute
Once delivery is confirmed, funds release. If something goes wrong, open a dispute.

Plain-language answers about how escrow works.

How does release work?
Once the seller marks delivery, the buyer confirms receipt, and funds release from the escrow account. I can explain the exact steps for your transaction.

How we secure funds

Common questions

Is Mapeico a law firm?
No. Mapeico is a payment platform. We provide legal information through our AI assistant, not legal advice. For a specific case, contact a licensed attorney.
Where is my money held?
Funds are held in a segregated escrow account at a licensed escrow partner, [Licensed partner name], not on Mapeico accounts. You receive an audit trail for every step.
Can the AI give me legal advice?
No. The AI gives legal information and explains how escrow works. It does not replace a lawyer. For advice about your situation, use the “Ask a human attorney” button or consult your own attorney.
What happens if something goes wrong?
You can open a dispute in the app. Our support team reviews the evidence with a human reviewer, and we keep you updated at each step while funds stay held.
