Frequently Asked Questions

Furrsati is Lebanon's freelancing platform. It connects Lebanese clients with verified local freelancers through escrow-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 specifically for Lebanon with local payouts (OMT, Whish), Arabic support, a flat 10% fee (vs Upwork's 20% or Fiverr's 20%), and an understanding of Lebanon's unique economic challenges.

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).

When a client funds a milestone, the payment is locked in escrow 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 charges 10% to freelancers only. Clients pay zero platform fees — just standard Stripe processing fees. This is the lowest rate among major freelancing platforms.
