About SmarTrust
Founded: Late 2024 by two Canadians united by a shared frustration — both as freelancers and buyers, they lost money to scammers and unfair processes. That experience sparked a passion to build a fair, friction-free escrow platform.
🌟 Our Mission
To make freelance work truly for a fee, not free, by embedding trust into every transaction. SmarTrust empowers digital freelancers and their clients with transparent, secure, and user-controlled escrow—with no heavy upfront charges and minimal friction.
