Regulated Escrow & Fund Custody

Your money, held to its word — until both sides agree.

NEFIMS holds funds neutrally between buyer and seller on any transaction, and releases them only when the agreed conditions are met. No surprises. No blind trust required.

How It Works

Three steps. Nothing left to chance.

Every NEFIMS transaction follows the same clear sequence, visible to both sides from start to finish.

Step 1

Agree on terms

Buyer and seller define what's being exchanged and the conditions for release. Both parties confirm before anything moves.

Step 2

Funds are held

The buyer sends payment into a segregated escrow account. The seller is notified funds are secured — and can act with confidence.

Step 3

Funds are released

Once the buyer confirms the conditions are met, funds release to the seller. Disputes go to mediation before anyone loses money.

Why NEFIMS

The parts of escrow people usually have to take on faith — we show you instead.

Regulated custody

Funds sit in segregated, non-commingled accounts at a licensed banking partner — never on NEFIMS's own balance sheet.

Real-time visibility

Both parties see the same transaction status at the same time. No calling to ask "did it go through?"

Built-in mediation

Disagreements go to a structured dispute process before funds move — not a frozen account and silence.

Transparent pricing

One fee, shown before you commit. No spread markup, no surprise release charges.

We were selling a $38,000 piece of studio equipment to someone we'd never met. NEFIMS held the funds until I confirmed delivery — the buyer stopped being a stranger and started being a transaction I could actually see.
