Money moves only when the plate does.

Every sale on Plated runs through a licensed escrow partner. The buyer's funds are held from the moment a price is agreed and released only after the RTA confirms the transfer. Nobody wires money on trust.

Agree a price

Buyer and seller agree on Plated. The plate is marked reserved so it can't be sold twice.

Funds are held

The buyer pays the escrow partner, not the seller. Both sides see the funds are secured.

RTA transfer

Seller and buyer complete the transfer through the RTA, in person or online, the usual way.

Release

Once the transfer shows under the buyer's name, the funds are released to the seller the same day.

Built for the people who actually move plates.

Sellers

List in one WhatsApp message. We confirm with you before anything goes live, and we tell you every time a buyer asks.

Questions people ask first.

How is this different from the sites I already use?+

Three things. You search by the shape of the number instead of scrolling. You see the price history of every plate free instead of guessing or paying for it. And money is held in escrow until the RTA transfer is done, instead of being wired on trust.

Is listing free?+

Yes, at opening every listing is free, including for traders with large inventories. Featured placement and analytics are free for founding traders for the first year.

Does Plated hold my money?+

No. Funds are held by a licensed escrow partner in the UAE, not by Plated, and released to the seller only after the transfer is confirmed.

Can I keep my plate's code hidden?+

Yes. Some sellers prefer to show only the number until a buyer is serious. Your listing will say the code is available on request.

How does the RTA transfer work?+

The same way it always has: both parties complete the transfer through the RTA, in person or through its online services. Plated gives you the checklist and the escrow release follows the confirmation.

When does it open?+

Sellers and traders are being onboarded now so the exchange opens with real inventory. Buyers get access right after. Leave your email or WhatsApp and you'll hear first.

Be on the exchange before it opens.

Sellers and traders listed before opening day get their plates in front of the first buyers, free. Buyers get the first alerts.
