How a mandate operates
Titanium holds transaction funds and releases them on the mechanism the parties have documented. It does not decide whether the underlying obligations have been met, and it has no lending or advisory relationship with any party to the transaction.
Agreement
Parties, authorised signatories and the release mechanism are settled with transaction counsel before funds move.
Funding
Funds are received into the designated client account arrangement and receipt is confirmed to the parties.
Instruction or evidence
Release is triggered by a valid instruction from the authorised parties, or by documentary evidence the agreement specifies.
Release
Titanium pays against that trigger, subject to applicable law and regulatory requirements.
Titanium supports domestic and cross-border transactions involving clients and counterparties internationally, subject to onboarding, applicable law and regulatory requirements. Titanium's entity, regulator and permission are set out with their source on verified facts.

What Titanium decides, and what it does not
Titanium's role is non-discretionary. It holds funds and releases them on the mechanism written into the agreement, which may require valid instructions from authorised parties, or documentary evidence expressly specified in that agreement.
Titanium does not determine whether a condition precedent has been satisfied, whether a milestone has been achieved, whether a warranty claim is well-founded, or how a contested distribution should be resolved. The mechanism is worth settling with counsel while the agreement is still in draft, rather than after funding.
