Escrow Payments
Your money. Always protected.
Zura's escrow system ensures creators are always paid and brands only release funds when they're satisfied. Powered by Paystack — Nigeria's most trusted payments infrastructure.
How it works step by step.
For Creators
Never get ghosted again.
Before you create a single piece of content, the brand's payment is locked in escrow. You deliver, they approve, you get paid within 24 hours — every time.
For Brands
Pay only when you're satisfied.
Your funds sit in escrow and only release once you've reviewed and approved the creator's content. Two revision rounds included on every deal.

About Zura
Built by creators. For creators.
We got tired of watching talented Nigerian creators get underpaid, ghosted, and undervalued. So we built Zura — the infrastructure the creative economy was missing.

Our Mission
The infrastructure the creative economy was missing.
Nigerian creators collectively produce some of the most culturally significant content in Africa — yet most are underpaid, operating without contracts, and chasing payments that never come.
Zura exists to change that. We're building the professional infrastructure that turns creative talent into sustainable careers — matching systems, escrow payments, legal contracts, tax tools, and repeat booking networks.
We measure success in creators who paid their rent from brand deals. In repeat bookings that replaced cold pitching. In payments that arrived within 24 hours, every time.
Our Vision
To make Nigeria's creative economy the most professionally structured in Africa — where every creator can earn what they're worth, consistently.
Our Values
