Increasingly complex and multi-jurisdictional business transactions demand efficient administration and risk mitigation.

This frequently requires funds, other assets or paperwork to be placed in escrow until various conditions are met.

Choosing the right escrow agent is therefore crucial to the completion of your business transactions.

As one of the world’s leading financial services organizations, Citi can serve as a neutral third-party escrow and depository agent.

We can receive, safeguard, service and disburse assets, including cash, securities and physical documents.

Through our Private Bank escrow team, Citi can facilitate a broad range of transactions in escrow.

These include mergers and acquisitions, litigation and settlement, restructuring.

We can also facilitate specialized or tailored transactions, involving environment, entertainment and sports, estate settlement, and private equity, ERISA and SPAC.

Escrowed securities are held in fully segregated accounts, separate from the assets of Citi.

Our dedicated and experienced escrow specialists stand ready to help meet your expectations and turnaround time.

Our escrow team works with clients to drive execution of escrow accounts associated with Mergers & Acquisitions, Corporate Restructuring, Litigation and other major transactions that require a level of risk mitigation.
