The problem

Most skilled work in Ghana runs on trust nobody can verify. A phone number, a cousin’s recommendation, cash up front.

80%
of West Africa's workforce works informally, without formal identity or payment protection.
Two sides
carry the risk today: the customer pays before the work, or the worker finishes before the pay.
One rail
fixes both — identity verified at the source, money held until the work is confirmed.

How it works

The Tokenized Handshake.

Every job passes through a four-step rail. The customer’s money never leaves escrow until they confirm the work is done. The professional is paid the moment the token is released.

  1. 01

    Request

    A customer describes the work and sends it to a verified professional in their service area.

    No money moved

  2. 02

    Quote

    The professional replies with a fixed price or a milestone schedule. The trust fee is per stage, never upfront.

    Price agreed

  3. 03

    Escrow

    The customer funds the first milestone into Paystack escrow. The professional can see the funds are held.

    Funds held

  4. 04

    Release

    When the work is confirmed, the customer enters a six-digit token. Escrow releases to the professional instantly.

    Released to professional

The trust layer

Identity, verifiedat the source.

DoAm doesn't take a professional's word for it. Every artisan on the rail passes a biometric document check before they can receive a single cedi. The system is built so the easiest path is also the verified one.

For professionals

Your reputation should travelfurther than your shop.

Most platforms take from the worker. DoAm is built to grow the worker: a bigger market, a portable reputation, and earnings that scale past who your cousin happens to know.

  1. Visible to all of Accra

    Every verified customer in your service area finds you in search — not only the people who walk past your shop.

  2. 0% commission at launch

    You keep what you earn. DoAm's revenue comes from the data rail, not from a cut of your work.

  3. A credit score that is yours

    Five completed jobs unlocks your DoAm Credit Score — a portable trust score that opens the door to financing partners and micro-loans.

  4. Paid to your MoMo or bank, instantly

    Money lands the moment the customer releases the token. No 30-day platform holds. Every handshake adds to your on-rail work history.

For customers

Hire with confidence.Your money moves when you say so.

Every professional on DoAm is Ghana Card-verified and biometric-checked. Your money sits in escrow until you confirm the job is done.

  1. Verified professionals only

    Ghana Card validation and a Level 2 biometric liveness check before anyone appears in search. We verify the person — a real human with a real government ID who has agreed to operate on the rail.

  2. Your money never moves until you say so

    Funds are held in Paystack escrow from the moment you pay. DoAm never holds your money. The professional sees it is locked but cannot touch it.

  3. Dispute before you release

    If the work isn't right, raise a dispute before entering your token. Your money stays in escrow until it's resolved. The token is the only key, and you hold it.

  4. Independent dispute resolution

    Escalated disputes go to a remediation panel backed by qualified legal professionals. A neutral decision — not a coin flip, and not DoAm taking sides.
