Now onboarding founding companions in central London — become a companion

Questions, answered

The things people ask first.

If your question isn't here, get in touch — we're happy to help.

General

No. Trustpanion is explicitly non-sexual and non-romantic. It's company for activities, events and conversation — nothing more. Our terms make that clear from the first click, and we enforce them.

An activity with good company — a walk, a meal, a gallery visit, a plus-one to an event, or a video chat. You're buying a safe, well-organised experience, not “renting a person.”

People new to London, busy professionals, anyone who'd rather not face the city or an occasion alone, and anyone who values verified, drama-free company.

Safety & verification

Every companion completes a short interview, government-grade ID verification (document + liveness) and a Basic DBS background check before joining. Members are ID-verified too — verification runs both ways.

In public places only in our first version — cafés, galleries, parks, restaurants, venues. Never behind closed doors. It keeps every meeting transparent and safe for both sides.

Zero tolerance. Any suggestion of anything sexual or any breach of conduct means an immediate, permanent ban and a reversed payment. There's a safety check-in on every booking and real people handling incidents.

Payments & pricing

Everything is cashless and in-app. Your payment is held securely when you book and released to the companion after the session. Cash is never involved.

Companions set their own rates, so prices vary — but you always see the full price (including our service fee) before you confirm. See indicative ranges on our pricing page. Early sessions in our launch boroughs may be subsidised.

No. You pay per activity. There's no membership fee and no tipping pressure.

For companions

Fill in the short form on the become a companion page. We'll arrange a friendly interview, then ID and Basic DBS verification (≈ £23 one-off). After that you go live in your borough.

You set your own rate and choose which bookings to accept. Payments are guaranteed through the platform and released after each session — no cash to chase.

Always, with no penalty. You're in control of your rate, your availability and which requests you accept.

Areas & launch

We're starting in a few central London boroughs and building real density before we expand — so there's always a verified companion nearby. Join the waitlist and we'll tell you the moment we're live in your area.

We're onboarding founding companions and waitlist members now, borough by borough. The fastest way to be first is to join the waitlist.
