The problem

High-stakes deals run on low-trust tools.

Cross-border real estate and corporate transactions still depend on email, attachments and goodwill.

01

The fraud gap

Bank details swapped in a last-minute email. Spoofed counterparties. Wire fraud thrives in cross-border deals because payment instructions travel through inboxes no one can verify.

02

The coordination gap

A single transaction spreads across email threads, drafts and phone calls. Nobody sees the same version of the deal — and nobody knows what is actually outstanding.

03

The escrow gap

Traditional escrow is slow, opaque and paper-based. Funds disappear into a black box until completion, with no live view for the parties who put them there.

The platform

One verified workspace, every party included.

Every party sees the same live deal

Invite the full working group — buyers, sellers, lawyers, notaries, escrow agents and advisors. Each member joins with a verified identity and a defined role, and payment instructions live only inside the platform. Never in email.

  • Role-based access for every participant
  • Verified identities before anyone touches the deal
  • In-platform payment instructions only

An immutable record of every action

Every upload, approval, signature and transfer is timestamped and locked into a tamper-evident audit trail. Documents are versioned, sign-offs are multi-party, and the complete deal record can be exported when you close.

  • Versioned documents with full history
  • Timestamped, tamper-evident event log
  • One-click export of the complete deal bundle

How it works

From first contact to clean completion.

  1. 1

    All parties join & verify

    Every participant passes KYC/AML and UBO screening with eIDAS 2.0-grade identity before entering the deal room.

  2. 2

    Funds move into escrow

    The buyer deposits into a segregated escrow account. Everyone sees the confirmed balance — nobody can touch it unilaterally.

  3. 3

    Milestones & documents verified

    Versioned documents, multi-party approvals and milestone checks progress the deal with full visibility for the working group.

  4. 4

    Clean release & export

    Release requires sign-off from the agreed parties. Funds move, the deal closes, and the complete record exports in one bundle.

Wire fraud

The most expensive email you'll never receive.

Payment instructions never travel by email on BridgeTrust — so they can never be intercepted or swapped.

Without BridgeTrust

  • Bank details sent over email and PDF attachments
  • “Updated account number” the day before closing
  • No way to verify who is really on the other end
  • Losses discovered only after the wire has gone

With BridgeTrust

  • Payment instructions live only inside the platform
  • Every counterparty identity-verified before joining
  • Any change to instructions is flagged to all parties
  • Funds release only on agreed multi-party sign-off

Trust & compliance

Built for European standards.

Regulated escrow & notaries

Funds are handled through regulated escrow agents and notaries. Regulatory licensing for direct operations is in progress.

KYC / AML & UBO screening

Every participant — individual or entity — is screened before joining a deal, including ultimate beneficial owners.

Segregated client funds

Escrow balances sit in segregated accounts, separate from operating funds, visible to all deal parties at all times.

Versioned records, 7-year retention

Documents are versioned and the audit trail is retained for seven years — ready for regulators, auditors and courts.
