About Holderlian

Our mission

Holderlian exists to eliminate scams from Nigerian online marketplaces. Every day, buyers lose money to fake sellers, and sellers lose goods to dishonest buyers. We fix this by holding funds in escrow until both parties are satisfied.

How we're different

• Zero wallet risk: We never hold your money. Paystack, a CBA-licensed payment processor, holds funds in escrow.
• Multi-platform: Works on Instagram, Facebook, Jiji, WhatsApp, Telegram - any platform where Nigerians trade.
• ID system: Buyer IDs (B-XXXX) and Seller IDs (S-XXXX) prevent identity fraud.
• Auto-release: If courier confirms delivery, funds release automatically - protects sellers.
• Dispute resolution: Real humans review cases, not algorithms.

The problem we solve

Nigeria's e-commerce is booming, but trust is low. "Pay before delivery" leads to scams. "Cash on delivery" leads to wasted trips. Holderlian provides the middle ground: pay when you receive.

Our values

• Trust: Built on transparency and fair dispute resolution
• Security: Your money never sits in our wallet
• Simplicity: Works everywhere, no complex setup
• Fairness: Buyers pay nothing, sellers pay only on success
