Approve it HQ gets rid of the awkward payment wait by offering the CheckVault Escrow payment system.
CheckVault works by placing the project money in the hands of an independent and licensed third party. This protects both the client and the consultant. When both parties verify the transaction has been completed, the money is released to the consultant.
