Arrange your guarantee scheme quickly and easily

What is STO Garant?

STO Garant is a guarantee scheme that allows you to insure traveller payments. Our guarantee scheme is based on the escrow principle. This means that signing up can take just one day. No bank guarantee or audit certificate is required.

The escrow account system means that instead of paying an organisation directly, travellers pay money into an escrow (client fund) account. The amount paid is securely held in this account until the trip or travel package comes to an end. The booking payment is then automatically released to your organisation the day after the trip ends, even if the traveller is not satisfied.
