1. Is there a fee to use Aura’s Paymaster Service?

Yes. Aura charges a transparent fee of 0.25% (one quarter of one percent) of the total transaction amount, but this fee is only applied after the client successfully closes the deal and funds are deposited into Aura’s designated escrow account. There are no advance fees, no retainers, and no upfront payments of any kind. Clients are never required to pay a single dollar before the transaction is executed.This fee structure ensures that clients only pay for services that have been fully delivered, with no financial risk or upfront obligations. It reflects Aura’s commitment to trust, fairness, and professionalism, providing clients with confidence that the service is outcome-driven and aligned with the successful completion of their transaction.

2. What happens if my transaction is delayed or does not close within 30 days?

Aura Paymaster Agreements are valid for a maximum of 30 calendar days, designed to maintain regulatory compliance and efficient resource allocation. If a transaction experiences delays, clients are required to notify Aura in writing before the 30-day period expires, including:

• A valid explanation for the delay,

• Supporting documentation or evidence of the current deal status, and

• A revised expected timeline for closing.

If no formal notice is provided, the Paymaster Agreement automatically expires after 30 days. Once expired, the agreement cannot be renewed for at least three months, unless Aura grants a special exception. This policy ensures accountability and transparency, preventing indefinite commitments while encouraging clear communication between clients and Aura.

​

3. Can I renew my Paymaster Agreement if needed?

Yes. Clients may request a renewal or extension of the agreement beyond the 30-day period. Aura evaluates each request on a case-by-case basis, considering the reasons for the delay, the updated timeline, and supporting documentation.Aura emphasizes professional communication and transparency. Clients who proactively update Aura on the status of their deals and provide clear evidence are more likely to receive approval for renewal. This ensures that extended agreements remain compliant, well-managed, and aligned with Aura’s operational standards, giving clients flexibility while maintaining security and regulatory integrity.

4. What is the Beneficiary Clause, and why is it required?

The Beneficiary Clause is a critical compliance measure designed to protect client funds in the event of unforeseen circumstances, such as death, incapacitation, or serious illness of the primary client. Clients must designate a beneficiary who will receive the funds if they are unable to act personally.For security and compliance, the beneficiary undergoes live video verification with an Aura representative. Upon completion, Aura issues a formal confirmation notice to both the client and the beneficiary, creating a transparent and auditable record. This ensures funds are distributed according to the client’s instructions, prevents disputes, and complies with regulatory standards. The Beneficiary Clause safeguards families, business partners, and other stakeholders, ensuring that high-value transactions are protected and executed smoothly, even in unexpected situations.

5. How secure are transactions handled through Aura’s Paymaster Service?

Security is a cornerstone of Aura’s Paymaster and Escrow services. Transactions are protected with bank-grade encryption, multi-layer authentication, and strict internal controls. Every step—from deposit to disbursement—is monitored to prevent unauthorized access and ensure operational integrity. Aura implements end-to-end transaction tracking, keeping every deposit, hold, and disbursement fully auditable. Client funds are held in segregated accounts, never co-mingled with Aura’s operational accounts.Combined with compliance checks aligned with AML, CTF, and FATF standards, these measures ensure that clients’ transactions are executed with the highest level of security, confidentiality, and regulatory compliance, providing complete peace of mind for high-value, complex deals.

​

6. What types of transactions can Aura act as Paymaster for?

Aura’s Paymaster & Escrow services are suitable for a broad range of high-value international transactions, including:

• Commodities trading (oil, gold, precious metals, agriculture, and energy deals),

• Cross-border investments and joint ventures,

• Mergers & acquisitions (M&A transactions),

• Large-scale asset sales, including real estate and corporate assets,

• Private contracts and settlements requiring a neutral intermediary.

Each transaction is subject to rigorous KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) checks to ensure compliance with international financial regulations. Aura only proceeds with transactions that meet legal, ethical, and compliance standards, ensuring that all parties are fully protected.

​

7. How Are Funds Disbursed Once Received?

Once client funds are successfully deposited into Aura’s designated escrow account, the disbursement process is strictly governed by the terms outlined in the Paymaster or Escrow Agreement. Aura acts solely as a neutral and trusted intermediary, with no discretionary authority to redirect, alter, or delay the flow of funds outside of the instructions provided by the involved parties.

​

Funds are released only after a series of checks and confirmations, which include:

• Verification that all contractual obligations between parties have been fully met.

• Completion of all compliance and regulatory checks, including KYC and anti-fraud measures.

• Receipt of all necessary approvals and confirmations from the parties involved in the transaction.

Disbursements are executed exclusively through secure, reliable, and internationally recognized banking channels, ensuring both speed and accountability. Beneficiaries receive funds directly into the bank accounts specified in the agreement, and a formal confirmation notice is issued for record-keeping and audit purposes.By adhering strictly to the client’s instructions, applicable laws, and regulatory standards, Aura ensures that every transaction is executed with the highest degree of accuracy, neutrality, and integrity. Clients can therefore rely on Aura not only for secure fund management but also for absolute transparency and peace of mind throughout the transaction lifecycle.

8. Does Aura Comply with International Financial Regulations?

Yes. Aura operates under a comprehensive global compliance framework designed to meet and exceed the requirements of international financial regulators. Our policies and processes align with key global standards, including:

​

• AML (Anti-Money Laundering) directives to prevent illegal fund flows.

• CTF (Counter-Terrorism Financing) protocols to ensure funds are not misused.

• FATF (Financial Action Task Force) recommendations for cross-border transaction transparency.

• OECD transparency standards promoting accountability and ethical business conduct.

• Local banking laws in every jurisdiction where Aura operates.

Every transaction is subjected to rigorous KYC (Know Your Customer) procedures and enhanced Due Diligence checks. This ensures that only verified individuals, corporations, or entities with legitimate funds can participate, safeguarding clients from potential legal, financial, or reputational risks. Aura’s multi-layered compliance infrastructure not only protects the integrity of each transaction but also ensures alignment with evolving global regulations. By partnering with Aura, clients benefit from a financial intermediary that prioritizes legal integrity, ethical responsibility, and operational transparency—delivering a secure, compliant, and trustworthy environment for high-value, complex international transactions.

9. Can Aura decline or terminate a Paymaster Agreement?

Yes. Aura reserves the right to decline, suspend, or terminate a Paymaster Agreement at any stage if compliance, security, or ethical standards are not met. Situations that may lead to termination include:

• Failure of the client to provide accurate or complete documentation,

• Compliance red flags, such as suspicious fund origins or lack of transparency,

• Evidence or suspicion of fraudulent, illegal, or unethical activity,

• Breach of agreement terms or misrepresentation by the client.

Aura holds client integrity and transparency as non-negotiable values. Our role as Paymaster requires us to act as a neutral yet highly responsible fiduciary, and we will always prioritize compliance, legal standards, and client security above proceeding with a risky or non-compliant transaction.
