  • Your rights and interests to the transaction, as well as those of your counterparty/ies, are protected
  • You are relieved from the burden of monitoring compliance by your counterparty/ies of their respective responsibilities and obligations
  • The funds/documents will be released to the appropriate party only upon the satisfactory performance/delivery of the concerned parties’ deliverables under the transaction
