IOLTA Escrow Account Management

IOLTA Escrow Account Management gives you complete control over client funds with a structured, transparent account setup. A single master disbursement account supports separate sub‑accounts for each individual client or case, ensuring funds are never intermingled. This approach provides clear oversight, accurate reporting, and confidence that client funds are managed properly at every stage.

Your ESCROW Account Management Includes:

  • Convenient Access to Funds
    Access client funds when you need them with flexible withdrawal options. Make partial withdrawals by check, and handle withdrawals or account closings by phone or fax—so managing escrow accounts fits your schedule.
  • Flexible, Non‑Commingled Sub‑Accounts
    Simplify escrow management with one master account and unlimited sub‑accounts for individual clients or cases. Sub‑accounts are never intermingled, helping maintain compliance and clear recordkeeping. Open or close sub‑accounts easily, customize sub‑account numbering to match your internal references, and enjoy no maintenance or transaction fees.
  • Detailed Reporting & Reconciliation
    Stay organized with comprehensive reporting tools that support accurate reconciliation. Receive consolidated summaries of all sub‑account activity, deposit and debit registers, and automated wire notifications with Federal Reserve tracking. Access master and sub‑account reports 24/7 through ProvidentConnect for Business, along with year‑end 1099 and IRS reporting to reduce administrative workload.

  • Interest That Supports Access to Justice
    Interest earned on IOLTA escrow balances is compounded daily and credited monthly, then automatically remitted to your state’s IOLTA board, helping fund legal aid programs and support improvements to the justice system.
