Custody Services FAQ
What are custody services?
Custody services are services provided by a bank or custodian to safeguard the securities and assets of an individual or firm to minimize the risk of theft or loss. These securities and assets are held in electronic or physical form.
What is an escrow?
An escrow is a financial arrangement where a third party holds money on the behalf of the transacting parties. The purpose of an escrow account is to ensure your assets are secured without the risk of losing money or merchandise due to fraud. Escrow is often best known in the context of real estate, but it can apply to many types of business transactions.
