The method of payment should be arranged with your chosen Consultant and does not have to be conducted via Freelance Security. However Buyers do also have the option to easily pay their Consultant through the site. Each user on Freelance Security maintains a running balance of funds which can be added to using either a credit card or a PayPal account. Funds may then be transfered either directly to the account of the chosen Consultant, or via an escrow account which holds the funds securely whilst the project is completed to both parties satisfaction.
