Offers domain escrow services — UK-based Transpact

Another option for domain name escrow services.

There are lots of options for domain name escrow services. One I just became aware of is Transpact.com based in the UK.

Two things make Transpact interesting: its location and low fees.

The firm (Transpact is actually the trading name for Anpa Forward Ltd) is based in the UK and specializes in pound and euro transactions.

It’s fees are also low and not based on a percentage of the transaction.

The firm charges £2.99 per party for (GB) Pound transactions or €3.49 each for Euro transactions, and $24.99 per party for US dollar transactions. That’s for transactions up to £10,000 / €15,000.

I always recommend doing your due diligence ahead of selecting an escrow firm. Transpact works with some sizable web firms such as AutoTrader UK and is regulated by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) in the United Kingdom. Still, I don’t have first hand experience.

Any readers have experiences with Transpact?
