Why Bank iD
Your bank’s security, your phone’s convenience
Your bank verifies you
Your identity is confirmed by your bank, just like when you log in to internet banking. No one can sign for you.
No meeting, no signature certification
Sign the escrow agreement from your sofa, even on a Sunday evening.
Done in minutes
The escrow is ready before a meeting could even be arranged.
Bank iD is the Czech banking identity offered by most Czech banks. No Bank iD? We will sign in person for CZK 4,990.
Price
Attorney escrow price: a fixed CZK 6,490 instead of a percentage
The registration application and representation at the Land Registry are included. Enter the purchase price to see what you would pay a notary.
How it works
Four steps, no meetings
Send the purchase contract
I set up the escrow and the bank account right away.
Verification and signing via Bank iD
Both parties verify their identity and sign the escrow agreement online.
Money in a separate account
The escrow account is held at MONETA Money Bank.
Payout after registration
After the Land Registry entry, usually within 3–4 weeks, I pay the money to the seller.
Guarantees
Your money is protected by more than just my word
Czech Bar Association oversight
Every escrow is recorded in the electronic escrow register, and the entry cannot be changed.
Separate account
The money is not my property and cannot be seized, not even in enforcement proceedings against the lawyer.
The bank reports every movement
You are notified of every payment directly by the bank.
Czech Bar Association Guarantee Fund
In case of embezzlement, compensation of up to CZK 2.5 million, or up to CZK 5 million for the purchase price of a home.

Insured like a bank deposit
Money in the escrow account is covered by the Deposit Insurance Fund up to the statutory limit.

If I could not continue, the Czech Bar Association would appoint a substitute lawyer to complete the escrow.

I will show you the insurance certificate and proof that the account was opened on request.
