Yoho acts exclusively as your Escrow Administrator. Your Security Funds are held in a Yoho Segregated Client Account, strictly separated from our operational capital, and released only on each Contractual Rent Date — all under English Law.
All Yoho mandates and Tenancy Agreements are governed by the laws of England and Wales — a globally recognised framework for financial services and tenancy enforcement.
We process your identity and financial data strictly in accordance with UK GDPR. Identity verification is powered by Sumsub — the same KYC layer used by leading UK challenger banks. Sumsub acts as a designated Processor.
Your Security Funds sit in a segregated client money account at a Tier 1 UK bank — ring-fenced as client property and never become Yoho’s property. The account is a Ring Fenced Client Deposit Manager account at NatWest, held for the benefit of Yoho’s clients; NatWest has confirmed in writing that it cannot combine it with, or set it off against, any other Yoho account. FSCS protection comes from the FSCS scheme that NatWest participates in: NatWest is authorised by the PRA and regulated by the FCA and the PRA, and eligible deposits at the bank may be protected by the FSCS, subject to FSCS rules. The FSCS protects eligible deposits at UK banks up to £120,000 per person, per bank (limit set by the PRA, in force since 1 December 2025). The Yoho Segregated Client Account is held at NatWest, so eligibility is assessed under the FSCS rules for that account. Check at fscs.org.uk. Yoho is the Escrow Administrator: the bank holds the funds, and Yoho holds and administers Security Funds in accordance with its Terms and the applicable Side Letter, making releases only in accordance with the agreed release arrangements.
Your Security Funds are held on trust in the Yoho Segregated Client Account at a Tier 1 UK bank — legally ring-fenced from Yoho's own assets, so they are not affected by Yoho's financial position. If Yoho ceases operations, the bank continues to hold the Client Money Trust, and the Trust Deed dictates how funds are administered: scheduled Release Events under each Side Letter remain enforceable, and any unreleased Security Funds return to the tenant. Trust administration in that event is governed by the Client Money Trust Deed and English insolvency law.
