The core of our business lies in our Trust and Fiduciary division. Rooted in the strong commitment to individuality and to secure wealth for generations to come, we go beyond the conventional because it takes more than standard financial products to achieve ambitious goals.

We provide a full range of fiduciary services, including trusteeship, directorship, administration, registered office and nominee services. As a licensed financial intermediary, we assume various fiduciary functions for and on behalf of our clients, assuring at all times the highest level of protection and security.

Nominee Services

For reasons of client confidentiality and privacy, Geneva Trust may act as a nominee for the incorporation of legal entities. We may also assume the role of custodian to hold in safekeeping assets such as equities and bonds, and to arrange settlement of purchases and sales in respect of such assets.

Shareholding services for offshore entities or the holding of title to residential or commercial real estate form part of the nominee services that we could provide.

Escrow Servies

Escrow is a legal arrangement in terms of which assets are deposited with a neutral third party for devising, arranging and securing the proper exchange and delivery of property between the contracting parties as embodied in a written agreement. When a transaction requires escrow services to mitigate financial performance risk, clients need a provider who can make the arrangements quickly, accurately and securely to ensure proper closure of the transaction.

Escrow arrangements are used effectively in situations such as mergers, acquisitions and buy-outs, investment offerings (including both public and private equity or debt offerings) and settlement of claims.

With Geneva Trust, arranging an escrow trust account is fast and efficient, and can be customized to control and minimize counterparty risk in commercial transactions. Our dedicated service professionals are experienced with all types of transactions requiring escrow solutions.
