about

We started Pruva because a ticket once disappeared into a $200 payment.

Two outcomes: verified and released, or refunded in full. Nothing in between. That's the entire promise.

Where your money sits.

Pruva is a technology service.

We don't hold money. We don't move money. Our regulated bank partner does both.

Funds sit in a protected account.

Every deal's money is held by our regulated bank partner — separated from Pruva's own operations and from the seller's accounts.

A U.S. company.

Same country as you. Same laws. Same recourse if anything ever goes wrong — not a P.O. box in some other time zone.

Cards processed by a regulated payment processor.

Card data never touches Pruva's systems.

why we built it

From the team.

The first time one of us sent $200 for a Buccaneers ticket and never heard from the seller again, we wrote a long, angry post about how this should have been impossible in 2026. Turns out being a Florida company and a Bucs fan offers exactly zero immunity to ticket scams. Nobody had a good answer.

So we started asking around. Same story for the concert ticket. The festival wristband. The pre-sale code that turned out to be a screenshot. Every kind of ticket the big marketplaces sell, traded peer-to-peer, with zero protection in between.

Here's what we found: free payment apps offer no protection at all. Big marketplaces offer everything-protection, but only inside their walls, and only for a 25–30% tax bundled with discovery. Nothing in the middle. Nothing for the deal that started in a group chat.

So we built it. Pruva isn't a marketplace. We don't take a cut of your sale. We don't run ads. We don't tell anyone who paid who. We charge 4% plus a small tech fee for one thing:

Running the proof so the deal can happen anyway. This time, with proof.

what we don't do

The negative space.

Not a marketplace.

We don't host listings, set prices, or take a cut of the sale.

Not ads.

We never sell what you bought, what you sold, or who you sold it to.

Not a guarantor.

We don't promise outcomes. We verify and report.

Not your bank.

Money sits at our regulated bank partner — never with Pruva.

what you can hold us to

Three commitments. Plain English.

Two outcomes, never three.

Every deal ends in verified-and-released or refunded-in-full. No mediators, no appeals.

Plain-English verdicts.

You see what the engine found. No legalese, no asterisks.

Your money before your trust.

We earn the 4% by running the proof. If we can't verify, you don't pay anything.
