Escrow controls protecting a cross-border settlement

Desk capabilities

Neither side has to trust the other first

The escrow agreement defines exactly what evidence releases funds. Nothing moves on assurance alone, and neither party controls the account.

Escrow Agreements

Release conditions, timelines and dispute mechanics drafted to match the commercial contract.

Condition Verification

Inspection reports, bills of lading and clearance documents checked before any release instruction.

Segregated Accounts

Client funds held in segregated, regulated accounts — never commingled with operating capital.

Staged Releases

Tranche releases against production, shipment, arrival and acceptance milestones.

Cross-Border Settlement

Multi-currency handling with correspondent banking and full remittance documentation.

Compliance Screening

Source-of-funds, KYC and sanctions checks on every party before an account is opened.

Controlled settlement and account oversight

High-value transactions between new counterparties

Where a letter of credit is too heavy or too slow, escrow gives the same protection with a simpler mechanism — particularly on first transactions and asset purchases.

  • First-time commodity purchases requiring mutual protection
  • Precious metals and gemstone transactions pending assay
  • Mining and asset acquisitions with staged completion
  • Project deposits released against construction milestones
  • Deals where inspection outcome determines final payment
