High Quality & Cost Effective Escrow Services

We’re a UK based regulated escrow company helping businesses and individuals exchange assets and funds.

What is escrow?

Escrow is the term used when a contractual arrangement between two or more parties is put in place, in which an Escrow Company will hold funds or property during a transaction, acting as an independent third party.

Licensed & Regulated

Please note that our authorization with the Financial Ombudsman Service applies only to payment services transactions (principally transactions involving the holding and payment of funds); it does not relate to any other form of escrow service we offer – for example, where we hold real property.

This means that the Financial Ombudsman Service does not regulate us regarding any escrow transactions other than payment services transactions.

As a result:

  • we are not required to comply with the FOS rules in respect of services other than payment services;
  • the FOS does not regulate us in respect of any escrow services other than payment services;
  • Payment services are the only type of service offered by us that users of our services can complain to the Financial Ombudsman Service about.
