Escrow Advisor | International Trade Escrow

Trade Escrow

When entering into a trading transaction with previously unknown parties, you may desire protection for non-payment by the buyer or protection for non-performance by the seller. A buyer or seller can invite their counterparts to settle its trading with escrow to secure the transaction. Acting as a third party, Escrow Advisors achieves this by providing both the buyer and the seller with a safe and efficient process that guarantees problem-free transactions: buyers have the opportunity to inspect the goods before instructing Escrow Advisors to pay and sellers are assured that - if the goods are in accordance with the terms of the sales agreement - payment is guaranteed since the money is already in the escrow project account with Escrow Advisors before the goods were sent. A single escrow agreement between the same buyer and seller can cover many transactions.

The Advantage

During the transaction the seller knows that the buyer has the ability to pay, and the buyer knows that seller has to deliver first. This solution is far more secure then a prepayment to the seller and is less time consuming than a Letter of Credit.

Examples

Example 1
A Ukrainian seller wants to sell a consignment of Copper to a French buyer. The French buyer prepays into escrow. The seller delivers the bill of lading to Escrow Advisors which upon receipt releases the money in escrow to the seller and the bill of lading to the buyer. In the escrow agreement buyer and seller have agreed that if the delivery is not within the time agreed, the money in escrow will automatically be returned to the buyer.

Example 2
A New York trader buys Plant Machinery from a British supplier and sells to a Swiss buyer. The Swiss buyer is prepared to pay in advance into a trusted third party account. The prepayment of USD $3,112,000 is to be released to the British supplier and the New York trader simultaneously, such without the Swiss buyer knowing the identity of the original supplier. The escrow agent releases the amount in escrow when the Swiss buyer signs the escrow release instruction after having accepted the plant machinery.
