Hello, %cell1%

Hello,

Our company provides escrow services. We need business partners with business accounts.

Your task will be to receive money, to take 3% of the total amount as an escrow agent.

As soon as the buyer gets his or her domain we will send you the bank details and you will resend the money.

Your service fee, 3 per cent, will be yours as soon as you receive the incoming bank wire transfer.

To start our partnership you need firstly to complete a contract you will get by e-mail.

The amounts range from $9.000-120.000, so your fee will be a considerable one.

Fee for wire transfer and other fees are to be paid by the seller, so you will get your service fee immediately on the square.

It is the offer for those company owners who want to work in a reliable business and to get additional money being our partners.

Currently we accept partners from the USA though if you come from another country, please do not hesitate to contact us.

THE EMPLOYER

Found in 2003 in Poland, Safe Sale Domains. specializes in trading domains accounts for individual and institutional investors and market-making in the Poland derivatives market.

The unique risk profile of our non-directional relative value strategies offers our clients a great opportunity to diversify a traditional domain escrow.

We also provide escrow and website sale services to non-financial companies in Poland and Eastern Europe.

The company offers its services to domestic individuals and companies, as well as eligible investors from around the world.

Since we are chartered in Poland and only offer our services in EU, we are not eligible for work with out US agents.

Currently, we seek to increase our business presence in the USA in consideration of the decline in the US escrow markets and growing interest in the Business sales,

including Poland, demonstrated by the sophisticated investors. This strategy means that more contract-to-hire opportunities will arise for our staff in the USA.

THE ROLE

The core responsibility of a Escrow Account Specialist (EAS) is to ensure timely settlement of incoming payments from our US clients.

Your responsibilities will include receiving incoming funds notifications from the Client Accounts Supervisor, confirming the receipt of the funds into your designated bank account, wait for confirmation from us

After confirmation you need to transfer the funds into to seller bank client accounts in Poland (EUROPE) and confirming that money was sent.

Your duties will typically require up to 8 hours per week. Since we currently do not have a physical office in the USA, all communication with your supervisor will be carried out by phone, email and fax,

so you should have convenient access to these facilities. You should also be able to visit your bank in the regular business hours upon a few hours notice.

In order to succeed in this role, you should be a strong communicator with good multi-tasking skills and great attention to detail. Previous clerical, business or administrative experience is a plus,

but not a prerequisite. Safe Sale Domains. is an equal opportunities employer open to candidates of any sex, race, age or ethnicity.

Your remuneration is calculated as a percentage of the client funds that you handle and is available each time that you complete a transaction. There is thus no need to wait for the payroll check.

If you are interested it this position or would like to request additional information on our company, please contact us at
