Process Agent and Escrow Services (Escrow Agent)
Trusted legal representation and secure transaction support

In today’s global and complex commercial environment, safeguarding legal interests and funds is essential—particularly in transactions involving financing, acquisitions, and cross-border agreements. CityLinkers provides professional process agent and escrow services that deliver legal assurance and transactional integrity.

Acting as an independent, neutral party, we help clients manage risk, ensure compliance, and build confidence in both local and international business arrangements.

CityLinkers service features

CityLinkers ensures the integrity of your corporate transactions with carefully structured escrow services and document handling protocols:

Dedicated Client Trust Accounts

All client funds are securely held in segregated trust accounts, ensuring maximum protection and full transparency. These accounts guarantee that client assets remain completely separate from CityLinkers’ operational funds, maintaining strict compliance with all regulatory and fiduciary standards.

Clear Custody Agreement Terms

Each transaction is governed by a well-defined, transparent custody agreement that outlines the roles and responsibilities of all parties, conditions for fund handling, and precise mechanisms for fund release. This structured approach ensures accountability, legal clarity, and peace of mind for our clients throughout the entire process.

Strict internal controls

We implement stringent internal control frameworks with clearly segregated duties and robust oversight mechanisms. This disciplined structure prevents conflicts of interest, minimises the risk of mismanagement, and reinforces operational integrity in every custody-related activity we undertake.

Management oversight on fund releases

We apply rigorous management-level review and a dual approval process to every fund release. This structured oversight framework ensures full transparency, strengthens accountability, and minimises the risk of unauthorised or erroneous disbursements, safeguarding client interests at every stage.

Standardised workflow

We operate under clearly defined, documented procedures to ensure consistency and precision in every transaction. This standardised workflow not only minimises errors but also enhances efficiency and ensures timely, reliable delivery of services—providing every client with the same high standard of execution.

Fast turnaround times

We are committed to providing responsive and accurate service within tight timelines, enabling you to meet critical transaction deadlines without compromising on regulatory compliance. Our streamlined processes and experienced team ensure that every task is handled swiftly, precisely, and reliably.

CityLinkers Escrow and document agency services

CityLinkers offers a full range of legal procedure agency and escrow services, tailored to your business type, transaction structure, and jurisdictional requirements:

Corporate legal document agent

CityLinkers acts as your appointed legal document agent, ensuring the secure and timely handling of all critical legal, governmental, and regulatory correspondence. We manage official communications in full compliance with the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and relevant cross-border regulatory requirements.

Our services include the receipt, review, and secure forwarding of legal documents, court notices, and regulatory communications, as well as liaison with legal counsel where needed. By centralising document management under a trusted agent, we help ensure that no statutory notice is overlooked, keeping your company fully informed, compliant, and protected across all jurisdictions in which it operates.

Entrusted transaction services

CityLinkers serves as a trusted third-party intermediary in high-value and complex business transactions, ensuring secure fund management and full transparency throughout the process. We safeguard both buyer and seller interests by holding transaction proceeds in dedicated client trust accounts and releasing funds only upon fulfilment of all pre-agreed contractual obligations, verified and confirmed by all parties.

Our services mitigate counterparty risk, enhance transactional confidence, and maintain strict regulatory compliance. Whether for M&A deals, real estate transactions, cross-border settlements, or private investments, CityLinkers provides a secure, impartial, and efficient solution that protects assets and ensures contractual integrity at every stage.

Opening of Designated Escrow Accounts

CityLinkers delivers end-to-end support in setting up designated escrow bank accounts to safeguard funds throughout the entire transaction lifecycle. Opened under strict regulatory compliance, these accounts are fully segregated from the operational accounts of all involved parties, ensuring maximum protection of assets.

We work closely with reputable banking institutions to streamline account establishment, with clear terms of use, withdrawal conditions, and dispute resolution mechanisms contractually defined for added assurance. Whether for M&A transactions, capital injections, real estate deals, or cross-border settlements, our escrow solutions are tailored to minimise risk, maintain transparency, and instil stakeholder confidence at every stage.

Escrow Fund management and distribution

CityLinkers provides professional management, safekeeping, and controlled disbursement of escrowed funds in strict accordance with clearly defined contractual terms. Acting as a neutral and trusted third party, we monitor payment milestones and release conditions with precision—ensuring funds are only disbursed when all mutually agreed obligations have been met.

Our service is backed by robust internal controls, rigorous compliance checks, and legal oversight, guaranteeing every transaction is executed with accuracy, confidentiality, and full regulatory adherence. Whether facilitating a complex cross-border deal, merger settlement, or capital injection, our escrow management solutions mitigate counterparty risk and strengthen transactional integrity from initiation to final disbursement.

Verification of financing claim documents

CityLinkers delivers thorough review and validation of all financing claim documentation, including loan agreements, disbursement requests, collateral records, and supporting evidence. Our expert team ensures that every submission is complete, authentic, and accurate, fully aligning with the terms and conditions of the financing or escrow agreement.

By detecting discrepancies early and verifying compliance with all contractual requirements, we safeguard the interests of all parties, reduce financial and legal risks, and uphold transparency across the entire transaction lifecycle.

Accounting and financial reporting

CityLinkers delivers comprehensive accounting and financial reporting services to guarantee full transparency and traceability of all escrow-related fund movements. Our robust reporting framework provides transaction-level records, reconciliation statements, and periodic financial summaries, customised to meet internal governance requirements and external regulatory standards.

These reports serve as critical documentation for compliance with Hong Kong and international financial regulations, while also supporting internal audits and stakeholder reviews. By ensuring clear, timely, and accurate reporting, we strengthen counterparty confidence and maintain accountability throughout the entire transaction process.
