How Our Escrow Process Works

A clear, step‑by‑step process from mandate to release of funds, designed to reflect standard escrow workflows used in major markets.

Step 1 · Mandate & Term Sheet You share the transaction outline, counterparties and key conditions. We prepare a non‑binding escrow term sheet, including funding, currency, release events and reporting.

Step 2 · Escrow Agreement Lawyers of all parties review and finalize the escrow agreement. The document sets out responsibilities, representations and the precise mechanics for deposits and releases.

Step 3 · Funding the Escrow Parties fund the escrow account via wire transfer in the agreed currency. Funds are reconciled and confirmation is issued once value is received and credited.

Step 4 · Monitoring Conditions We monitor incoming instructions and evidence regarding agreed conditions, such as completion certificates, regulatory approvals, or liquidity tests, depending on the transaction.

Step 5 · Release of Funds Upon receipt of required documents or joint instructions, funds are released to designated beneficiaries, and a closing statement detailing all flows is provided.

Step 6 · Reporting & Archive Post‑closing, we provide final reports and archive documentation in line with regulatory and contractual requirements, ensuring a verifiable record for all stakeholders.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about how escrow works and how we operate as an independent third‑party provider.

What is an escrow arrangement?

Escrow is a structure where a neutral third party holds funds and documents on behalf of counterparties until agreed contractual conditions are satisfied.

Who owns the funds while they are in escrow?

The funds remain beneficially owned by the depositing parties, but they are controlled by the escrow agent and are dedicated exclusively to purposes defined in the escrow agreement.

How safe is an escrow account?

Escrow structures are designed to reduce settlement and counterparty risk by separating custody of funds from the negotiating parties and by applying documented release rules.

Can you support cross‑border transactions?

Yes, escrow accounts can be used to support cross‑border transactions, with multi‑currency funding and coordination between different legal and banking jurisdictions.

What information do you need to open an escrow?

Typically we require KYC documentation, transaction outlines, draft legal agreements and details of the beneficiaries and currencies involved, in line with standard KYC and AML expectations.
