How do 3rd Party Companies work with Meeting Escrow?

 

1. If there is interest in working with Meeting Escrow, typically the senior company leadership, in consultation with legal/financial, decides to sign on as a client (and pay the annual fee) and / or introduce the company's clients who sign on (and pay the annual fee) or a mix of both.
   ​

2. Once Meeting Escrow is approved as a vendor of record, we open a main trust account for receipt of funds from the 3rd Party, and separate trust accounts for each of your clients and each of their programs.  Program trust accounts can be set up in 20 different currencies so that funds can be exchanged and held in the correct currency, eliminating risk to your client's budget due to exchange rate fluctuations.
   ​

3. Meeting Escrow is introduced to vendors (hotels, DMCs, and other providers) at the RFP stage with the stipulation that you would like all advance deposits held in escrow until the program begins. This reduces risk. 
   ​

4. Meeting Escrow pays all vendors on your (or your clients) behalf from the trust accounts set up for their respective programs.
   ​

5. Meeting Escrow can also coordinate VAT tax recovery, obtain completed foreign vendor tax forms (example W-8BEN forms for US companies working with hotels and other vendors out of the country), and provide event insurance recommendations. These services are provided on a complimentary basis.
