WatchFacts Integrates Escrow.com to Secure Cross-Border Transactions for 24,000+ Global Luxury Dealers

SAN FRANCISCO, California – January 09, 2026

Escrow.com, the world's most trusted online escrow service, today announced a partnership with WatchFacts, a leading invitation-only B2B trading platform for luxury watches, fine jewellery, and designer handbags. The integration will provide an additional layer of financial security for WatchFacts' network of more than 24,000 verified international sellers conducting high-value transactions across borders.

WatchFacts has built a vetted ecosystem that unifies over 400 curated luxury channels and more than 540,000 authenticated listings, creating a streamlined environment for professional dealers to source, buy, and sell with confidence. With its global community spanning 60+ countries, the platform facilitates transactions between professionals who often never meet in person – making secure payment infrastructure critical to building trust and enabling commerce.

"With a network of verified international sellers facilitating high-value transactions across borders, we needed a payment solution with unmatched global reputation and regulatory strength," said John Cormier, CEO of WatchFacts. "Partnering with Escrow.com enhances our ecosystem by introducing an added layer of financial security, ensuring both buyers and sellers can transact safely and seamlessly. Together, we're elevating the standards of transparency and protection in the luxury trading industry."

The partnership addresses a long-standing challenge in the luxury goods market, which has traditionally relied on fragmented communication and trust-based transactions. By integrating Escrow.com's secure payment infrastructure, WatchFacts provides its professional community with the same level of transaction security used by buyers and sellers in domains, vehicles, and other high-value asset categories.

"Luxury goods represent some of the highest-value transactions in global commerce, and professional dealers need financial infrastructure that matches the sophistication of their market," said Matt Barrie, Chief Executive of Escrow.com. "WatchFacts has built an impressive platform that brings structure and transparency to luxury trading. We're proud to provide the secure payment foundation that enables their global community to transact with confidence, knowing funds are protected until all conditions are met."

Escrow.com holds buyer funds securely and only releases payment to the seller once the buyer confirms receipt and authenticity of items. This protects both parties in transactions that can span continents and involve significant financial value, while eliminating wire transfer risk and reducing the potential for fraud.

The partnership also supports WatchFacts' personalized concierge service, which assists collectors and enthusiasts in accessing luxury timepieces at competitive prices with the assurance of Escrow.com's payment protection on every transaction.
