Escrow agent services
Escrow is a globally recognised legal mechanism. It involves an escrow agent, a third party, holding money or property for contracting parties when, for instance, there is a deferral of payment under a contract or of a transfer of ownership title to the item that is being acquired. The escrow agent keeps the property under a contract and then transfers it to either party as long as certain conditions are met.
The approach is relevant when contracting parties want an independent third party to keep a deferred payment or other property until the conditions occur that the parties have agreed upon. At that point, the independent arbiter transfers the assets or part of the payment to the relevant party.

Escrow agents are traditionally used in global practice in the context of:
- real estate transactions;
- transactions in securities (shares, bonds, etc.);
- transactions involving goods (supply, exchange, etc.)
- when services are provided and work is performed (services, contractor’s services, etc.)
