Escrow Account

Bank “Bai-Tushum” provides services for the opening and maintenance of an Escrow account – a “guaranteed” account, which is intended for settlements on transactions for the purchase and sale of movable and immovable property. The escrow account gives full protection for buyers and sellers in mutual settlements. This account allows temporarily blocking the funds of a buyer of movable or immovable property until the commercial transaction is made. Upon completion of the transaction and submission of supporting documents to the Bank, the right to own and dispose of the Escrow account is transferred to the Seller.
