Secure Transaction App
Payments Powered by
The safest way to buy and sell
privately in the UK.
Trust Toucan is a secure payments platform designed to make private transactions safer, more transparent and easier for both buyers and sellers. Whether you’re buying or selling a car, watch, bike or other high-value item, Trust Toucan helps reduce risk and give you peace of mind.
By combining identity verification, secure bank-to-bank payments, and a clear confirmation process, Trust Toucan gives both sides confidence without handling goods. Buyers get time to inspect, sellers get reassurance that funds are real, and payments are only released once both sides confirm.
It’s a simple, self-service way to protect yourself in private sales.
Why use Trust Toucan?
How it works
Step 1
Agree the Deal
Once a buyer and seller agree on he product/vehicle and price, the transaction is created in Trust Toucan. The agreed amount and product details are recorded clearly, so both parties know exactly what has been confirmed.
Step 2
Verify and Secure Payment
Both parties complete a quick identity check, and the buyer secures the agreed funds. The payment is authorised and prepared for release, but it does not move until the transaction is confirmed by both sides.
Step 3
Inspect or Collect
A defined inspection window is set, allowing the product to be inspected, test-driven, transported, or collected. The timeline is clear, and the agreed price remains fixed during this stage.
Step 4
Confirm and Complete
Once the product is accepted and handover is complete, both parties confirm in the app. The payment is then released automatically, and the transaction is recorded with a clear digital trail.
For sellers
Verify buyers
The buyer completes identity verification before the transaction begins, so you know who you’re dealing with before your item changes hands.
​
Funds secured before handover
You receive confirmation that the buyer has secured the agreed amount, reducing uncertainty before inspection or collection.
Agreed price recorded
The product details and agreed price are documented upfront, helping prevent last-minute renegotiation on collection day.
Defined inspection window
A clear inspection period is set, so you know exactly when confirmation is due rather than leaving the deal open-ended.
Clear digital record
The transaction is recorded with timestamps, creating a shared record of what was agreed and when.
Structured completion
Both parties confirm in-app, and payment is released automatically, reducing awkward payment timing at handover.
For Buyers
Verified seller
The seller completes identity verification before the transaction begins, giving you added reassurance before funds are secured.
Inspect before release
Funds are secured but only released once you confirm you’re satisfied after inspection or collection.
Agreed details locked in
Vehicle details and the agreed price are recorded digitally, reducing uncertainty around what was agreed.
Clear timeline
An inspection window is defined from the outset, so you know exactly how long you have to inspect the product.
Real-time updates
Push notifications keep both parties informed as the transaction progresses.
Digital confirmation
Once completed, the transaction is formally recorded, giving you a clear record of the agreement.
