Questions, answered.
How the money is held, what it costs, who checks identities, and what happens when something goes wrong.
General
Furrsati is Lebanon's freelancing platform. It connects Lebanese clients with verified local freelancers through securely protected milestone payments, USD contracts, and local payout options including OMT, Whish Money, bank transfer, and cryptocurrency.
Furrsati is built for Lebanon, but anyone can use it. It's especially designed for Lebanese freelancers and clients, as well as the Lebanese diaspora looking to hire local talent.
Furrsati is built for Lebanon: payouts through OMT, Whish, a bank transfer or USDT, Arabic support, USD contracts, and a service fee that is charged to the freelancer rather than added to the client's bill.
Furrsati covers 11 categories: Tech & Development, Creative & Design, Digital Marketing, Writing, Content Creation, Translation, Admin & Business Support, Finance & Legal, Engineering & Architecture, Lifestyle, and Audio & Misc.
Download the Furrsati app from the App Store or Google Play, create your account, complete your profile, and either post a job (clients) or start browsing and submitting proposals (freelancers).
Payments & Protection
When a client funds a milestone, the payment is locked securely via Stripe. The freelancer sees the funded milestone and begins work. Once the client approves the deliverable, the payment is released to the freelancer's wallet. If there's a dispute, our admin team resolves it within 48 hours.
Furrsati's standard service fee is charged to the freelancer on completed milestones. Clients pay no platform service fee, the only amount added to a client's bill is the standard card processing fee when they fund by card, and it is shown before they confirm. Rates are standard unless a different one has been agreed on an account.
Freelancers can withdraw through: Bank Transfer (USD or LBP), OMT cash pickup, Whish Money, or USDT cryptocurrency. Go to your Wallet in the app and choose your preferred method.
Yes. All contracts on Furrsati are priced in USD. Payments are processed through Stripe in USD. When withdrawing, you can choose to receive in fresh USD (bank transfer, OMT, crypto) or LBP at the current rate.
Withdrawal minimums depend on the method. Check the Wallet section in the app for current minimums for each payout method.
For Freelancers
Browse open jobs, filter by category or skills, and submit proposals for projects that match your expertise. Set competitive rates, write a compelling proposal, and wait for the client to accept.
It depends on your skills and on the work, not on an hourly rate. In Lebanon, freelancers typically ask $50–$150 for a simple logo, $600–$1,800 for a 5–10 page WordPress business website, and $150–$300 a month for basic social media management. You set your own price on every proposal, and the client agrees it before the work starts.
KYC is required to withdraw funds. Go to Settings > KYC Verification, submit a government-issued ID and a selfie. Our team reviews submissions and you'll be notified once approved.
Yes, you can use Furrsati from anywhere. However, some withdrawal methods (like OMT) are only available within Lebanon.
For Clients
Post your job with a description, required skills, and budget. Receive proposals from verified freelancers, review their profiles and portfolios, accept the best proposal, and fund the first milestone to start.
You can request revisions from the freelancer. If you still aren't satisfied, you can open a dispute. Our admin team reviews the evidence and resolves it within 48 hours, either releasing payment, requesting revisions, or issuing a refund.
The standard card processing fee is added when you fund a milestone by card, and it is on the screen before you confirm. There is no separate platform or service fee for clients, Furrsati's service fee comes off the freelancer's side of the payment. Funding from a Furrsati wallet balance carries no processing fee at all.
When you fund a milestone, the money is held securely by Stripe. It's only released when you approve the deliverable. If there's an issue, our dispute resolution team handles it within 48 hours.
Trust & Safety
Yes. Furrsati uses Stripe for payment processing (bank-level encryption), payment protection for every transaction, KYC verification for all freelancers, and a 48-hour dispute resolution process.
Every freelancer must complete KYC verification by submitting a government-issued ID and a live selfie. Our team reviews each submission manually to ensure authenticity.
Either party can open a dispute. Both sides submit evidence. Our admin team reviews the case and issues a resolution within 48 hours, this can include full payment release, partial refund, or full refund.
Furrsati follows strict data protection practices. Personal data is encrypted, payment information is handled by Stripe, and we never share your data with third parties. See our Privacy Policy for details.
