How EWG Can Help

Traditional providers can take weeks to open accounts for new escrow agreements, potentially delaying progress on agreements.

Legal professionals can set up new escrow accounts within 24–48 hours* ensuring smooth onboarding of new agreements.

Escrow agreements for property developments, acquisitions, or multi-phase builds often involve numerous participants across jurisdictions. Managing documentation, approvals, and communications in fragmented systems can lead to delays, errors, and disputes.

EWG’s platform centralises agreement documentation, participant roles, and approval workflows in one place. This ensures all parties work from a single, secure source of truth — reducing errors and accelerating progress.

Ambiguity in triggers for fund release — whether tied to build milestones, contractual obligations, or regulatory approvals — creates legal risk and slows transactions. Without clear, centralised tracking, disputes are more likely.

EWG enables legal professionals to embed clear release conditions into the escrow workflow. Milestones, approvals, and supporting evidence are tracked in real time, ensuring funds are released only when criteria are met — with full transparency for all participants.

Legal professionals must evidence that escrow agreements are managed securely and in line with fiduciary and regulatory standards. Traditional setups lack robust audit trails, real-time tracking, or easy reporting, increasing the burden and risk of oversight gaps.

With multi-tier authorisations, downloadable audit reports per agreement, and real-time transaction histories, EWG delivers the visibility and records needed for compliance. Legal professionals gain confidence in demonstrating fiduciary standards without additional administrative burden.

High-value, cross-border transactions demand certainty and speed. Manual processes and disjointed approvals increase the risk of miscommunication, missed deadlines, or misdirected funds — undermining client confidence in the agreement process.

EWG provides instant notifications, real-time payment tracking, and 24/7 access to balances and statements via app or API. This reduces settlement risk, speeds execution, and ensures escrow agreements close smoothly and securely.

Manual errors and delays in escrow settlements are time consuming and costly in an often margin tight industry. 

Fast, trackable settlements with instant payments and batch upload/API capabilities. Providing clear accurate and transparent real-time observability.
