Product information

With Escrow account, you can manage your clients’ money easily, transparently and safely. The account can be administered from your home via Direct Banking.

 

  • Interest terms can be set depending on the requirements and specifics of the given transaction

Since the Escrow account is always linked to the main account, you can keep funds held in escrow and your business activities separate. You will receive separate account statements for your Escrow account, which makes records even more transparent.

As regards funds deposited in the Escrow account, they remain the property of the third party that put them in escrow based on an agreement between the account owner (notary / attorney / distraint officer) and the third party.

The Escrow account is also subject to a special legal regime: the bank is not entitled to debit its claims, if any, from it; the deposited funds are not subject to distraint and inheritance and cannot be used to secure liabilities.
