EB-5 regional centers
Investor escrow, insured and transparent.
How EB-5 regional centers and new commercial enterprises protect investor escrow and project funds above the FDIC limit with transparent reporting.
Why cash is often under-protected
- Large, long-dated escrow balances
- Foreign investors expect transparency
- Funds held pending adjudication or milestones
The FDIC insures up to $250,000 per depositor, per bank, per ownership category. Everything above that at one bank is uninsured.
One account. 300+ insured institutions.
- Insured placement for escrowed capital
- Records supporting coverage by investor
- CDs aligned to project timelines
- Clear reporting for investors and counsel
