Bank trust accounts for North America hedge funds
FundBank provides banking solutions for hedge funds which include provision of bank accounts and custody and trade execution solutions.

FundBank can provide the following type of bank accounts for hedge funds and their managers:
Subscription and redemption trust accounts
Our subscription and redemption accounts provide essential mechanisms for capital management and liquidity control, allowing hedge fund managers to respond quickly to investment opportunities. These accounts are structured to securely receive investor subscriptions and process redemptions. They help hedge fund managers demonstrate transparency, strengthen investor confidence, and meet compliance requirements.
Operating bank trust accounts
FundBank’s operating accounts ensure financial fluidity, compliance with regulations, and providing a strong financial infrastructure. These accounts support day-to-day operational expenses, service provider payments, and treasury functions while maintaining clear separation from investor assets.
Escrow accounts
Our escrow accounts enhance security, fairness, and trust in various significant financial transactions by ensuring all parties meet their obligations before assets are exchanged. In the North American hedge fund context, escrow accounts are commonly used for structured transactions, asset acquisitions, seeding arrangements, or conditional capital events.
Limited activity account with income
A limited activity account with income can also be opened to hold funds in reserve. These accounts provide a secure way to manage excess liquidity, reduce concentration risk, and preserve capital while still generating income in a regulated banking environment.
Custody and trade execution solutions
In addition to specialized bank accounts, FundBank provides a best-in-class approach to custody and trade execution solutions for hedge fund managers and their managed funds. Through partnerships with global, top-tier financial institutions, FundBank delivers consolidated custody across major markets, offering strong counterparty exposure, enhanced transparency, and efficient reporting that meets the expectations of North American regulators, auditors, and investors. In support of custody clients, we also offer customised, agency-only trade execution services with no proprietary trading, ensuring full alignment with client interests.
