Division · FG Escrow & Compliance

Fund custody and compliance to high compliance standards.

We protect buyer, seller and financier with documented processes, segregated funds and full traceability. Escrow is delivered as a fiduciary activity of the law firm. FG does not engage in financial intermediation, does not take deposits from the public and does not provide banking services.

FG Escrow & Compliance

Registered obligor with SUGEF (DNFBP) — Law 7786.

FG Escrow & Compliance operates as a registered obligated party under Costa Rica's anti-money-laundering regulations (Law No. 7786), with documented Know-Your-Client (KYC) processes, source-of-funds verification, segregated accounts and stage-by-stage reporting.

The service is operated by FYG Asesores S.R.L. (corporate ID 3-102-777895), registered with SUGEF as a legal-entity DNFBP under Article 15 bis (e) of Law 7786 (file IPO2026-11892). The SUGEF registration is strictly limited to anti-money-laundering and counter-terrorism-financing matters. FG is not a financial entity, does not engage in financial intermediation, does not take deposits from the public and does not provide banking services; escrow is delivered as a fiduciary activity of the law firm, and clients engage these services at their own account and risk.
