Funds and settlement

Funds held by a bank for your business deal

Understand funds held by a bank, where the payment comes from and who receives it.

Know where the agreed money is held

A buyer may want the supplier paid after completion. A supplier may want the agreed funds in place for the deal. The bank's role connects those commitments.

With PaySec, UAE businesses record the scope and payment terms in a digital contract. The buyer transfers the agreed funds to the bank. The bank holds that money for the transaction.

Buyers and sellers use existing bank accounts

The buyer pays from their existing bank account. The seller receives payment into their existing bank account. Those accounts remain the starting and receiving points for the payment.

The bank holds the funds between funding and release. PaySec provides the technology platform for the agreement, completion confirmation and release instruction. The bank carries out the payment under the agreed terms.

The amount relates to the business agreement

The contract identifies what the buyer is paying for. A single payment can relate to the completed deal. Separate milestone amounts can relate to agreed delivery stages.

For the sequence from agreement to payment, the overview explains how PaySec works.

Example of a Dubai equipment purchase

The bank holds the funds while the supplier completes the order. After buyer confirmation through PaySec, the release instruction goes to the bank. The supplier receives payment into its existing bank account under the agreed terms.
