Using that Tax Refund?

Here in the U.S.A, the dreaded April 15th tax day has passed. Spring is in bloom in many parts of the country and despite rising fuel costs, many members will be thinking of a new vehicle for the travel season. Whether its a Ford or Ferrari, Safefunds is the absolutely best way to buy or sell a car, motorcycle, boat, or RV. With our absolute protection for both buyer and seller, members can conduct that long distance deal with complete confidence. As always, there is only a single, low cost transaction fee.

Email Reliability

Safefunds prides itself on providing the finest personal service to our members. Imagine our embarrassment when our email provider, Network Solutions, one of the largest and one of the first Internet registrars and hosting services, lost our ability to receive email on April 7th. Apparently, the claim of 99.7% up time is not quite realistic. Of course this interruption had no effect on the secure Safefunds member server. We do not trust anyone except ourselves with that information. However, we certainly apologize to our many members for the inconvenience and what may have appeared to be our failure to respond to their mail to us. Another good reason that we publish our phone number where it is easy to find. We are at 1-888-565-4187. Outside the U.S. call +1-317-819-1026.

What's the Catch?

A perfect topic for April 1 is a question we get over and over at Safefunds. What's the catch? How can you provide the Safefunds service for such low cost? All the other services are a lot higher and get from 1% to 3%. Are you guys for real? We hear it a lot. Here is the answer. Our business is based on our software. Our software processes a transaction for a fixed amount. The value of the transaction has absolutely nothing to do with the cost of processing it (of course, this is also true of our competitors who charge those percentages). When you write a check, you do not expect to pay the bank a percentage of the amount for handling the clearing process. Why should you pay a percentage of a transaction for someone to process it? We depend on three elements for success: 1. The best possible service to our members so they continue to use our system, 2. Our patent pending software that cannot be duplicated, and 3. A high volume of transactions to allow us to keep our fee low. Thanks for using SAFEFUNDS.
