Building Trust for Africa's Freelance Future
We're on a mission to make every freelance transaction secure, fair, and instant—protecting African talent and international clients.
Our Mission
Every day, talented African freelancers deliver amazing work—and then wait anxiously to see if they'll get paid. Meanwhile, international clients worry about sending money before seeing results.
Amani solves this with Trust-as-a-Service: automated escrow that holds client funds securely, lets them preview work, and releases payment instantly upon approval. No more ghosting. No more risk.
For Freelancers
Work with confidence knowing funds are secured before you start. 0% fees means you keep what you earn.
For Clients
Preview deliverables before releasing payment. Only pay for work that meets your standards.
