Inglis Digital continues to lead the Equine Industry with innovative new services to make all horse owner’s life easier and now safer when buying and selling horses online.
Inglis Digital and Escrow Service provider Check Vault have partnered to introduce Equine SafePay, Australia and New Zealand’s first Online Escrow Service aimed to help customers wanting to buy and sell horses online safely, and to avoid online scammers with confidence.
Australia’s largest Equestrian site Horsezone.com.au and Australia’s largest Bloodstock site, Bloodstock.com.au will exclusively offer the service across their sites starting from September 2015. The service is available to any offers over $1,000 on any of the 8,000 listings on Horsezone and 1,200 horses available for sale on Bloodstock.com.au.
The Equine SafePay service is simple;
- The buyer makes an offer to purchase
- The vendor accepts or rejects the offer
- The buyer then transfers the money into an Escrow account (Perpetual Corporate Trust are the escrow agent)
- The horse is then transferred to the buyer
- Once the horse arrives, the buyer approves the release of the funds to the vendor
Inglis Digital’s General Manager Leigh Lavery commented on the new service “Equine SafePay will provide our customers with a new level of security and confidence that will no doubt increase the attractiveness of Horsezone.com.au & Bloodstock.com.au as market places to trade horses online. In the past buying or selling horses online has been a leap of faith for both buyers and vendors with the always looming risk of online scammers being on the other end of the transaction. Inglis Digital needed to combat this concern for our customers and create the most secure and safe platform possible and thanks to the help of our partner’s CheckVault we are now confident we are able to allow our customers to buy and sell online securely, and with confidence.”
