Collection Account Management

Film & TV production revenue administration & distribution

Fintage Collection Account Management (CAM) service ensures that all parties with a financial interest in a film or television production, from producer to financier to profit participant, will receive their pre-agreed share of the revenues received.

This is what we do

A Collection Account is a bank account opened and managed by a neutral third party, Fintage CAM.

The Producer, the Sales Agent and the parties with a major financial interest in a project together with Fintage CAM enter into a Collection Account Management (CAM) Agreement.

The CAM Agreement includes the Recoupment Schedule of the project.

The Producer and the Sales Agent instruct the distributors to pay the revenues due under the Distribution Agreements, into the Collection Account.

Fintage CAM administrates, allocates and pays the revenues received in the Collection Account to the beneficiaries in accordance with the Recoupment Schedule in the CAM Agreement.

Why use our CAM service?

We are industry specialists with 30+ years’ experience in the audiovisual world.
But there is more:

Protection of revenues
As trusted third party without a financial interest in the project. Only Fintage CAM controls the receipt, allocation and distribution of revenues.
Transparency
All financial information is 24 / 7 digitally available through our live portal giving direct access to collection statements, and reports about the financial position on each Film/TV production.
Outsourcing of administrative work
