How We Work
Four steps. No ambiguity. Funds held until precisely instructed.
-
We receive instruction from transaction counsel or the parties directly. Our fully digital onboarding conducts AML and KYC on all relevant parties with rigour and without delay.
-
We work with you and your counterparties to draft a bespoke escrow agreement reflecting the specific release mechanics of your transaction - conditions, milestones, signatories, and timelines.
-
Funds are deposited into a dedicated, segregated Titanium Escrow account held at Emirates NBD. In revolving or multi-depositor structures, we manage the orderly addition of parties and funds throughout the transaction lifecycle.
-
Funds are released solely upon receipt of duly executed Release Instructions from the authorized parties. No exceptions. No discretion. Complete documentation trail maintained throughout.
What We Do
Bespoke escrow, paying agent, and custody solutions for the transactions that matter most. Our mandate is singular: hold funds securely, structure releases precisely, and close on time.
Purchase consideration holdbacks, earnout structures, indemnity reserves, post-closing distributions, and SPA-governed release mechanics. We work directly alongside transaction counsel to structure escrow arrangements that reflect the deal — not a standard template.
Secure fundholding and manager's cheque issuance for individual and institutional property transactions across the UAE. Purpose-built for non-resident buyers who require a regulated UAE counterparty to complete a title transfer without a local bank account.
Capital call accounts, LP subscription holding, SPV-related custody, and investor distributions for private equity and venture capital structures. Funds held securely until deployment conditions are met.
Secure fundholding for restructuring transactions, debt settlement arrangements, creditor distributions, and insolvency-related asset disposals. A regulated, neutral custodian providing all stakeholders certainty that funds are protected and released strictly in accordance with agreed terms.
Why Counsel Instruct Us
There is no shortage of entities offering to hold funds. There is a short list of those you would trust to hold your client's closing consideration.
Titanium Escrow does one thing. We are not a corporate services firm, a bank, or an alternative payment provider for whom escrow is an ancillary product. We are a licensed, independent escrow agent — exclusively. That focus translates directly into speed, precision, and accountability on every transaction.
We hold a Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) licence under Abu Dhabi Global Market — the leading international financial centre in the region. For transactions governed by ADGM law or involving ADGM-incorporated entities, our regulatory standing is unmatched and publicly verifiable at all times.
Large institutions move on institutional timelines. We move on yours. Our onboarding is fully digital. Our documentation is built around your transaction, not a standard template. From instruction to funded escrow account, we work to your closing schedule — not ours.
Working Alongside M&A and Restructuring Advisors
Investment banks, M&A boutiques, and restructuring advisors bring us into transactions because closing mechanics require a counterparty who moves at deal pace, handles complexity without friction, and ensures every stakeholder is paid correctly. We operate as an extension of the advisory team — not as a separate institutional process.
When the deal closes, our job is to make certain no one is waiting, no payment is missed, and no timeline slips because of escrow.
We manage the full distribution waterfall — from KYC collection across all payees to concurrent disbursement on closing. Suitable for deals involving large shareholder pools, ESOP participants, or multiple co-investors across jurisdictions.
From first instruction to funded account, we structure the escrow arrangement around your closing timeline — not the other way around. Digital onboarding, rapid KYC, and direct communication with all parties throughout.
Regulated, neutral custody for restructuring processes involving multiple creditor classes, contested distributions, or court-supervised arrangements. Funds held and released strictly in accordance with agreed terms.
Advisory teams return to Titanium because the first transaction was handled well. We invest in the relationship, not just the mandate — understanding each firm's preferences, documentation standards, and communication style.
"You've been incredibly helpful — the responsiveness and flexibility were exceptional. With a bank as escrow agent, we could never have done it."
