The essential checks to make before entering a private international transaction.

01

Start with identity and terms

Distance makes verification more important. Confirm who you are transacting with, where the item or asset is located, and which party is responsible for delivery, duties and local requirements.

Write down the exact currency, amount and completion conditions before either party commits funds.

02

Plan for the handover

International delivery and inspection can introduce delays. Agree realistic timeframes and identify the evidence that will confirm each milestone.

A controlled transaction process keeps payment separate from those checks until both sides have completed their obligations.

03

Confidence comes from clarity

A secure transaction should never rely on assumptions. Clear terms, visible progress and controlled payment release give both parties the confidence to move forward.

Trustdepo brings those safeguards into one simple process, helping buyers and sellers stay aligned from agreement through completion.
