About Us

Riverside Escrow is a leading UK based FCA authorised escrow company helping clients exchange assets and funds.

We offer high quality and cost effective escrow services in a broad range of transactions. Our dedicated team of staff strives to provide efficient and clear services, tailored to fit each individual transaction.

We were first set up in 2014 and are authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) as a Payment Institution. Our escrow account is held by one of the country’s leading banks.

Please note:  Our authorisation with the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) applies only in relation to payment services transactions (principally transactions involving the holding and payment of funds), it does not relate to any other form of escrow service offered by us – for example where we hold real property.

This means that the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) does not regulate us in respect of any escrow transactions other than payment services transactions. As a result:

  • we are not required to comply with the FCA rules in respect of services other than payment services;
  • the FCA does not regulate us in respect of any escrow services other than payment services; 
  • payment services are the only type of service offered by us that users of our services are able to complain to the FCA about; and  
  • payment services are the only type of service offered by us that users of our services are able to complain to the Financial Ombudsman Services about.
