We asked Addy Montoya some questions about what Inmtec can provide in comparison to other escrow services in Mexico.
Why do I need an escrow account in Mexico?
Mexico has a thriving international trade market, and an escrow service can facilitate secure cross-border transactions. You’ll mitigate the risks associated with international trade, such as non-payment, delivery disputes, or issues with product quality. The Inmtec team considers escrow particularly useful for complex transactions that involve multiple parties or contingencies.
Escrow services act as a neutral third party that holds funds and documents during a real estate or commercial transaction. This impartial intermediary, Inmtec, ensures all conditions are met before releasing funds to the seller. The added layer of security and trust is increasingly important,where buyers and sellers seek peace of mind and protection against potential fraud or misrepresentation.
Only Inmtec is licensed to provide this type of service in Mexico, and therefore we understand implicitly the specific legal frameworks and regulations. Your protection is guaranteed by law.
