In the initial stages of a transaction, the relevant parties agree to appoint Bonded Escrow as the designated escrow agent. The first part of the process will normally involve the buyer transferring a deposit or bond against the transaction. This is held according to the terms agreed between the buyer and seller. As the transaction progresses and the parties move towards completion, the buyer will lodge the required balance of the purchase price.

The funds are deposited into a designated escrow account. All our accounts are held with rated and secure internationally established financial institutions. Whilst funds are being deposited, concurrently the seller will deposit the necessary title documents related to the stock with the escrow agent.

If the seller has any outstanding tax obligations, warrants and/or liens on the stock, third part arbitration can be called upon to resolve any disputes if and when necessary.

On completion of the transaction, each party will instruct Bonded Escrow to release the stocks and the funds in order to conclude the transaction.

In short, Bonded Escrow ensures that each party fulfils their obligations under the escrow agreement and provides safe keeping for documents and/or money ("Escrow Property") that the parties have deposited in their escrow account, that affect the transfer of stock once the obligations of the parties under the escrow agreement have been fulfilled.
