A dedicated account for one investor and one transaction. A private investor buying property, a foreign investor entering an Israeli deal. The scope is defined at opening, payments go only to predefined recipients, and the funds are fully segregated under our FASP license.
The typical client is a private investor buying a property, or a foreign investor entering a single Israeli deal. The account is opened for that transaction and nothing else: scope defined at opening, payments matched against it, everything documented.
Scope defined at account opening
Payments only to predefined recipients
Built for property, securities and alternative-asset deals
Every payment in the deal
One account for everyone the transaction has to pay.
A deal is never just buyer and seller. Attorneys, brokers, advisors, appraisers, taxes: every transfer the transaction requires runs through the same account, predefined at opening and documented like everything else.
Payments to attorneys, brokers and advisors supported
Payments to public authorities, including taxes.
Every transfer predefined and documented
Control and auditability
Designed for scrutiny, by you, your auditor, or the regulator.
Every transaction documented. Every payment matched against the predefined scope. And all of it in its own account: deal money that runs through your regular bank account gets mixed with everything else, and separating it later for an auditor, a counterparty or the ITA is painful. Here the deal lives on its own, with a clean paper trail.
Every transaction documented and auditable
Out-of-scope payment instructions flagged, not executed
Year-end reporting package on demand
How it works
From instruction to release.
01
Instruction received.
The investor submits deal details through our digital intake: investment amount, counterparty and release conditions.
02
Digital KYC completed.
Our compliance team completes full KYC and AML on the investor, digitally and fully remotely for foreign investors.
03
Account opened and funded.
A dedicated, segregated transaction account is opened in the investor’s name. The investor may be an individual or a legal entity. The investor transfers funds and PEaX confirms receipt.
04
Conditions monitored, funds released.
Agreed conditions are monitored; on satisfaction, funds are released to the counterparty with full documentation.
An account opened under our FASP license, with funds fully segregated, for one investor and one defined transaction, with payments allowed only to recipients set at opening. The discipline is the point: it is what counterparties, auditors and the ITA want to see.
Is this a trust service?
No. This is an account service: Psagot Equity provides the licensed account infrastructure, and there is no trustee involved. If your transaction needs a trustee, that is a separate trust service we can also provide.
Can a foreign investor open one for an Israeli deal?
Yes, and it is one of the two most common uses. Onboarding runs fully remotely through PEaX, with KYC, and FATCA and CRS classification and reporting handled per participant.
Do you accept funds originating from crypto and digital assets?
In many cases, yes. Crypto-originated funds can be accepted, subject to enhanced compliance checks, source-of-funds documentation and adjusted fees. The right framework depends on the specifics of the funds and the transaction, so talk to our team early and we will map the route with you.
