You are a legal firm instructing a paying agent for an M&A deal

Your clients need funds to move on completion - accurately, compliantly and immediately. You instruct Caxton as paying agent to take ownership of the compliance, KYC/AML and payment process end to end, so your team can focus on closing the deal.

You are a corporate administrator managing bond or equity disbursements

Dividends, redemptions, interest payments - you need them to reach every counterparty, accurately and on time, with a full audit trail. Our managed client money accounts and paying agent service are designed for exactly this complexity.

You are an asset manager or registrar moving capital across borders

Multi-currency exposure, multi-jurisdiction counterparties, FX risk on every transaction. You need segregated accounts, hedging capability and an Escrow partner you can trust to hold funds securely until every condition is met.

TRUST AND COMPLIANCE

FCA authorised - protecting your reputation, your clients' money and your compliance

Your reputation is on the line on every transaction you advise. The payments partner you appoint is a direct reflection of your standards. That is why Tier-1 firms choose Caxton - not because we process payments, but because we take responsibility for them. Full AML, KYC and KYB on every counterparty, funds held in safeguarded accounts and compliance built in from the start.

Our compliance framework

A dedicated relationship manager for every client

Every client has a dedicated UK-based relationship manager reachable by phone or email -someone who knows your firm and is there when it matters most.

We carry the compliance burden so you don't have to

AML, KYC, KYB, FCA regulation - we run the checks, carry the responsibility and make sure every counterparty is verified before completion day.

You always know exactly where the funds are

Real-time visibility over every payment instruction, fund balance and completion status. No chasing. No uncertainty. You know what is happening at every stage of the transaction.

When completion lands late, your payments still go out the same day

We stay fully hands-on through the final mile - rechecking instructions, monitoring confirmations, staying in constant contact. When the green light is given, payments move immediately. Every time.

Your clients' money is always secure, separate and protected

Funds held in dedicated safeguarded accounts with tier-one banking partners - completely separate from Caxton's own funds and protected 24/7 by our anti-fraud specialists until you instruct release.

You are working with a partner, not a provider

95% of our clients return year after year. The firms that choose Caxton once tend to choose Caxton every time — because when a transaction is live, we behave like an extension of your team, not a third party.

“We instructed Caxton as paying agent having heard strong things about their reputation. They more than lived up to it. Shareholders were onboarded without friction, compliance was thorough but efficient and the team remained hands-on and went over and above for us - right through to completion. Exactly what you need on a deal where timing is everything”
