Domain Escrow Process

Domain Escrow: Buyer Benefits

DomainSystems is the only ICANN Accredited Domain Registrar that has a special registrar escrow account devoted to domain escrow services. We have also partnered with Citibank, the largest financial services companies in the world, to make sure that escrowed funds will be protected while you’re buying or selling your domain names.

When you use DomainSystems’s domain escrow services, you will receive:

  • Peace of Mind – the domain names will be transferred to escrow before funds are released to the seller.
  • Security – knowing that your financial information is going to a neutral third party and not a stranger.
  • Money Back Guarantee – if the seller doesn’t properly transfer the domain names, DomainSystems will refund your money back to your account.
  • Convenience – deposit monies into escrow using credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express), personal, business, cashier’s or certified check, PayPal, or wire transfer.

Domain Escrow: Seller Benefits

DomainSystems makes sure the buyer has the funds to pay for the domain names, giving the seller the security of knowing that they will get paid. Other domain escrow services have to wait while the domain registrar completes the transfer, slowing down the sale process. DomainSystems is an ICANN Accredited Domain Registrar and experienced domain broker so we handle the domain sale from the initial offer to the close of the transaction.

When you use DomainSystems’s domain escrow services, you will receive:

  • Peace of Mind – the funds will be verified and cleared prior to transferring your domain names to the buyer through our special domain escrow account.
  • Security – our escrow services protects you against credit card fraud, insufficient funds or credit card charge backs. We hold all domain names at DomainSystems up to 60 days from the point of change of ownership to ensure the legitimacy of the transaction.
  • Guaranteed Payment – because the funds are held in escrow, payment is guaranteed once domain transfer specifications are met.
  • Convenience – having ability to accept multiple payment methods including credit cards even if you don’t have your own merchant account.
