Frequently Asked Questions

When do I receive my deposit?

Your deposit is secured as soon as your customer pays. Funds are released once Stripe confirms they are available. Card payments typically clear within 1–3 working days. Bank payments may clear faster.

Who holds the funds?

Settleby never holds your money. All payments are processed directly into your connected Stripe account. Settleby acts as the technology orchestration layer.

Why Settleby?

After working closely with trades businesses, I repeatedly heard the same problem — final payments getting delayed or turning into awkward conversations.

Settleby was built to structure job payments so both the trade and the customer feel protected.

How is the platform fee collected?

The Settleby fee (1% capped at £29) is collected automatically at the point of customer payment alongside Stripe's processing fees. There are no monthly subscriptions.
