It can be stressful and pretty daunting, going through all the necessary steps from start to finish, especially when doing transactions abroad.

To ensure your financial security, peace of mind and your understanding of the Mexican process, a well-managed escrow account is without a doubt the best way to go. Inmtec, a well-established and reputable financial services company based in Querétaro, has recently created an entirely new division, providing escrow services.

We’ll also be interviewing Inmtec’s’ CEO, Ángel Marín Díaz, and National Director of Escrow Services, Addy Montoya, asking in-depth questions and examining the benefits of escrow on multiple levels.     

This week, we’re outlining the broad scope of Inmtec’s escrow services. As the demand for secure and transparent transactions in Mexico grows, whether you’re a buyer or seller, choosing escrow is solid insurance for a reliable and seamless process.  

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.
