(01) The problem
Trust you can check.
Finding reliable tradespeople usually depends on word of mouth, and paying them often means handing over cash before the work is done. Clients can't easily check who they are hiring, and workers have little protection once a job is finished. BAID X makes trust something you can check rather than something you have to assume.
How we built it
- 01
Build trust into the product itself: badges are only awarded after a person at BAID X checks a profile, a Ghana Card, trade proof or background. A paid plan never buys a badge.
- 02
Hold the money, not just the conversation. Jobs are funded into escrow and released when the client approves, or automatically three days after the worker marks the job done.
- 03
Design for every side of a build: workers, companies, project managers, suppliers and homeowners each get an account type shaped around their own tasks.
(02) How money moves
Held safe until the work is done.
- Step 01
Top up
The client tops up a BAID X wallet through Paystack.
- Step 02
Fund the job
The job is funded from the wallet and the money is held in escrow.
- Step 03
Do the work
The worker does the job and marks it done.
- Step 04
Get paid
Money is released when the client approves, or automatically three days later. Payouts go to mobile money.
