As Dubai continues to solidify its position as a global hub for gold trading, the methods used to finalize high-value deals have evolved to prioritize security, traceability, and regulatory compliance. One instrument that remains central to secure settlement in local gold transactions is the manager’s cheque—a bank-issued payment tool that offers both credibility and protection for buyers and sellers.
At Dr. Alhammadi Law Firm, we support gold transactions through legally structured escrow services, paymaster solutions, and manager’s cheque issuance in collaboration with one of the top tier banking institutions in the UAE. In a market where trust is critical and transaction values are often in the millions, our legal oversight plays a vital role in mitigating risk and securing confidence.
What Is a Manager’s Cheque and Why Is It Used in Gold Transactions?
A manager’s check (also called a banker’s check) is a guaranteed instrument issued by a bank on behalf of the buyer, drawn directly from cleared funds. In UAE gold transactions, this method of payment is commonly used to:
- Prove availability of funds before the release of physical gold
- Avoid fraud or bounced cheques during high-value exchanges
- Satisfy the seller’s demand for bank-guaranteed funds
- Maintain traceability for regulatory and compliance purposes
In gold deals, especially those involving local delivery to refineries or free zone warehouses, the manager’s check adds an extra layer of assurance that neither cash nor wire transfer can always offer in a face-to-face or urgent setting.
Legal Oversight and Escrow Structuring with Manager’s Cheques
At Dr. Alhammadi Law Firm, we do more than issue or facilitate a cheque—we legally structure the entire transaction. As an independent and experienced escrow agent for gold transactions, we hold funds in escrow account, draft the payment and release conditions, issue manager’s cheque.
Our process typically involves:
- Drafting a comprehensive escrow agreement based on mutually agreed milestones
- Receiving funds into an escrow account in AED, USD, or EUR (other currencies available upon request)
- Document verification and payment instructions: The buyer and seller review and verify the documentation, and the client instructs the escrow agent to release the funds.
- Issuing a manager’s cheque when release conditions are fulfilled, or disbursing via wire transfer/check.
This structured approach allows both parties—especially international buyers unfamiliar with UAE systems—to benefit from legal protection, secure funding, and compliant settlement processes.
When Is a Manager’s Cheque the Right Choice in Gold Escrow Deals?
While wire transfers are suitable for many gold transactions, manager’s cheques offer distinct advantages in certain scenarios:
- Local same-day settlements where both parties are present in Dubai or Abu Dhabi
- Deals involving UAE-based refineries, storage vaults, or transport firms
- Transactions requiring a physical handover against guaranteed funds
- When sellers are unwilling to accept standard cheques or pending bank transfers
- Cases involving strict anti-money laundering (AML) checks and traceability requirements
