How It Works

1. Agree the Terms

The parties agree the commercial terms of the transaction and the specific conditions that must be satisfied before settlement.

2. Establish the Escrow Arrangement

An escrow agreement is established setting out the responsibilities of each party, required documentation, verification procedures, conditions for release, and applicable fees.

3. Funds Are Placed in Escrow

The agreed funds are deposited into the designated escrow arrangement and held pending satisfaction of the agreed conditions.

4. Conditions Are Verified

Required documentation, approvals, confirmations, inspections, or other contractual conditions are reviewed in accordance with the escrow agreement.

5. Controlled Release

Once the predetermined conditions have been satisfied, funds are released in accordance with the agreed settlement instructions.

Why Use Escrow?

Escrow can provide an additional layer of transaction discipline, transparency, and settlement control, particularly where parties may not have an established relationship or where transactions involve significant amounts of capital.

Our solutions are designed to:

Protect Funds

Maintain agreed funds under controlled conditions pending settlement.

Reduce Counterparty Risk

Create a structured process linking payment to agreed transaction conditions.

Provide Transparency

Establish clear procedures for deposits, verification, release, and settlement.

Facilitate Complex Transactions

Support transactions involving multiple parties, jurisdictions, assets, or contractual conditions.

Bespoke Transaction Structures

Every transaction has different requirements. We work with the parties and their professional advisers to establish escrow arrangements that clearly define:

Conditions precedent to release
Required transaction documentation
Verification and approval procedures
Settlement instructions
Timelines and expiry provisions
Treatment of disputes
Fees and applicable charges
Applicable legal and regulatory requirements

Trusted Transaction Infrastructure

Coronation Escrow Services provides a structured framework for the controlled movement of funds between transaction parties, helping create greater certainty around the settlement process.

Our role is to administer the escrow arrangement in accordance with the agreed contractual terms. Escrow does not, by itself, constitute a guarantee of the underlying transaction, the quality or authenticity of any commodity or asset, or the performance of either party.
