GALIYour Marketplace. Your Community. Your Gali.
The campus commerce platform where payment is locked in escrow until you meet, inspect, and approve.
Campus trade was running on hope.
For years, buying and selling on campus meant flooding WhatsApp broadcast groups with “who has?” and “DM me”. No structure. No proof. Just vibes - and a lot of risk.
Fake bank alerts
Sellers screenshot 'credited' messages that never actually landed in your account.
Delivery ghosting
Pay first, then the seller goes quiet. The item never shows up.
Upfront scams
Strangers asking you to send money before you have seen a single thing.
A marketplace that puts trust before the transaction.
Gali is a campus commerce platform where verified university students buy and sell through built-in escrow payments.
Escrow-first
Money is held until both sides meet and approve. No 'send and pray'.
Verified campuses
Every seller is tied to a real school email and a verified payout account.
Built for students
Low fees, starter-free listings, and a Pioneer Plan that rewards early movers.
The problem
We started where campus trade actually happens - the group chats. The same chats where deals fell through and money quietly vanished.
The fix
So we built the trust layer first: escrow that locks funds, verification that proves who is behind a store, and fees that do not punish students.
Now
Gali is live at ABUAD and rolling out to federal, state, and private universities across Nigeria - structured, verified, localized trading infrastructure for every campus.
Held the second you pay. Released when you are sure.
Your cash is locked in escrow from the moment you pay. The seller sees it is held, meets you on campus, and only gets paid when you tap release. Dispute? The money comes straight back.

“Sold my mini-fridge the same day. The buyer paid into escrow, we met at the faculty, I tapped release. No drama.”
“I used to get scammed on group chats. My first Gali deal felt weirdly calm - the money was just held. That is the whole point.”
“As a seller, verification took five minutes and my store looked real. My first sale came in two days.”
“The Pioneer Plan got me zero fees while I tested the waters. Now I resell course packs every semester.”
