    Whilst it is not compulsory to use Escrow, some sellers will take an additional level of comfort in having their emissions units held in the custody of Public Trust, until a Buyer's bank is able to provide written confirmation that payment for the units has been made in cleared funds. Please note that Public Trust is the only Approved Escrow agent for Carbon Match transactions, and use of this service is at the seller's option and cost. We are confident that you will find the fees to be reasonable and the service exemplary. The creditworthiness of Public Trust is rated by Moody's Investors Service. Details of its current rating are available here
