Trade With Confidence.
Protected up to $100,000.
Working with a partner you have never met is the biggest risk in freight forwarding. The GFWE Payment Protection Program puts a safety net under every member-to-member deal.
π GFWE never holds your money. Payments always flow directly between members' own bank accounts. We provide transaction filing, dispute mediation and the protection fund β nothing else touches your cash flow.
How It Works
Three steps. No extra cost on top of your membership.
File Your Deal
Before or when you start a cooperation with another member, file the transaction on the platform: partner member ID, amount, and B/L or job reference. Both parties receive a confirmation. Filing takes two minutes and creates a tamper-proof record.
Report a Dispute
If a filed deal goes wrong β unpaid invoices, abandoned cargo, service default β submit a dispute report from your member dashboard with supporting documents. Our team acknowledges every case within 24 hours.
Mediation & Compensation
GFWE mediates between both parties based on the filed record. If the counterparty is found in default and fails to settle, the Protection Program compensates the injured member according to the program rules, up to their tier's coverage limit.
