Our translators live in dozens of countries. With Backspin we pay every one of them within minutes of a client signing off, and support tickets about missing money have all but disappeared.

Linnea Bergström

Head of Finance, Vaskeli

Challenge
Vaskeli held client funds for up to ten days before paying freelancers, and its finance team reconciled every payout by hand in spreadsheets.
Solution
Vaskeli opened a dedicated account number for every client on Backspin, collects payments into it and releases instant transfers to freelancers the moment work is approved.

A marketplace that runs on trust

Freelancers choose Vaskeli because they get paid reliably, so every delay in a payout is a reason to work somewhere else. On Backspin, every client gets its own account number. Incoming payments land in the right place automatically, and the freelancer’s share goes out by instant transfer the moment a project is approved.

Each payment in the dashboard shows its full timeline, from creation to settlement. When a freelancer asks where their money is, support answers in one message.
