How it works

A souq, but smarter.

Mint Souq is built on three ideas: search by conversation, sell with verified identity, transact through escrow. Here's how the pieces fit together.

For buyers

💬

Search in plain English (or Arabic)

"BMW X5 in Dubai under 200k, 2020 or newer." Or just describe what you want by voice. Our AI parses your sentence into the right filters automatically.

🔍

Filter by category-specific fields

Vehicles get year/mileage/fuel filters; property gets bedrooms/area; jobs get salary/type. Each category brings its own fields — no generic dropdowns.

🛡

See seller verification at a glance

📱 Phone, ✉ Email, 🛡 ID, ★ Trusted — every listing shows the seller's verified badges and trust score. Skip the unknown-history accounts if you prefer.

💸

Pay safely with escrow

For high-value items, click "Buy with Escrow". Your money sits with Mint Capital until you confirm you got the item. Flat 5% fee, paid by the seller.

For sellers

⚡

List in 60 seconds

Pick a category, describe your item (or use voice), upload photos, set price. The form adapts to your category — only the relevant fields appear.

✓

Build trust to get more replies

Email-verified sellers can post. Phone-verified sellers get the green badge. ID-verified sellers get the gold badge — and unlock high-value escrow.

📈

Boost a listing if you want speed

Optional sponsorship pins your listing to the top of search results in your category and city. Featured for 7 days, sponsored for 30, category sponsor for a full month region-wide.

💰

Get paid through escrow, not WhatsApp

When a buyer pays via Mint Souq Escrow, you know the money exists before you ship. Once they confirm receipt, funds are released to your bank within 1–2 business days.

The country / city / category map

Mint Souq operates in 15 Middle Eastern countries — UAE, KSA, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq, Palestine, Yemen, Syria, Turkey, and Iran — covering 137 cities. Listings are scoped by country and city automatically; you can drill down by both.

Categories cover everything from cars and property to electronics, jobs, services, fashion, and pets. Each category has its own filters, its own listing form, and its own SEO landing page so Google indexes us properly.

The role of Mint Capital Investment LLC

Mint Souq is owned by Mint Capital Investment LLC, an investment firm registered in Dubai. Mint Capital holds the escrow accounts, runs the verification compliance, and is the legal entity behind every transaction guarantee on the platform.

Why does that matter? Because the safeguards on Mint Souq aren't promised by a marketplace operator — they're operated by a regulated financial entity. The same client-fund standards that apply to investment accounts apply to escrow on Mint Souq.
