An independent third party between the buyer and the sellers. Funds move when closing conditions are met, and only then. Paying agent, escrow, sub-agent and tax holds under one mandate. We know the local tax and regulatory terrain and we run it for you, whether you sit in Tel Aviv or abroad: withholding, ITA approvals, FATCA, regulatory holds. Every seller is paid through PEaX, and everything the deal needs from the parties is collected there too: signatures on the deal documents, KYC, banking details, tax and withholding-exemption forms.
Funds move when conditions are met. Not because someone called.
The global escrow market was built on independence: unconflicted agents to ensure execution. We run the same model under Israeli law. A non-bank paying agent with no stake in either side, releasing funds only against documented closing conditions.
Paying agent, escrow, sub-agent, tax holds. One provider.
Deals leak where providers hand off: on timing, on reporting, on responsibility. With us every role lives in the same house, on the same platform, so one team is accountable from signing to final release.
Your SPA, our paperwork, fast.
Lawyers choose the paying agent, and they choose the one that won’t slow the deal. Our agreements are standard and quick to mark up, comments come back fast, and we work inside the structure you negotiated. We work routinely with leading global law firms and global shareholder-representative services, each working inside PEaX with its own permission level.
Local tax execution for domestic and foreign clients alike.
This is the part of the deal that global providers often cannot handle, while traditional local providers manage it through slow, manual processes. We are deeply familiar with Israeli tax and regulation, and we take care of it for every party: withholding per each seller’s certificate and residency, ITA approvals and refunds, FATCA and CRS classification, regulatory holds. Foreign buyers and sellers get the same clean execution as locals, in English, through the same portal. PEaX collects what the process needs from each party, from signatures on accession documents to the withholding-exemption forms prepared and submitted by the representative the parties appoint.
