in fees — plus you earn the interest on your escrow

$0 fees, shared interest

We're the only intermediary that charges nothing and shares the high-yield interest your escrow earns.

An AI that hand-holds you

Meet Ally — your 24/7 guide that explains the 45 & 180-day rules and keeps you perfectly on track.

Bank-grade safety

Segregated, FDIC-insured accounts at trusted banks. Full transparency, every step of the way.

What's the catch?

Other intermediaries keep your interest.

In a $5M exchange, the interest on your funds can exceed $100,000 — and traditional Qualified Intermediaries quietly keep all of it, on top of the fees they charge you.

At DeferAlly, we flipped the model. $0 fees, and we share the interest with you. Drag the slider to see what you'd keep.
