The agreement was designed to help facilitate the emigration of German Jews to Palestine .

Those possessions could later be re-obtained by transferring them to Palestine as German export goods.

The agreement was finalized after three months of talks by the Zionist Federation of Germany , the Anglo-Palestine Bank (under the directive of the Jewish Agency ) and the economic authorities of Nazi Germany. It was a major factor in making possible the migration of approximately 60,000 German Jews to Palestine in 1933–1939. The agreement enabled Jews fleeing persecution under the new Nazi regime to transfer some portion of their assets to British Mandatory Palestine . Emigrants sold their assets in Germany to pay for essential goods (manufactured in Germany) to be shipped to Mandatory Palestine . The agreement was controversial and was criticised by many Jewish leaders both within the Zionist movement (such as the Revisionist Zionist leader Ze'ev Jabotinsky ) and outside it, as well as by members of the NSDAP and members of the German public.
