Escrow

Money held by a neutral party until both sides of a deal have done what they agreed. The seller is paid only once the buyer confirms the goods arrived as described.

Key points

  • Neither side can take the money back alone.
  • Common for house sales, freelance work and marketplace orders.
  • The holder usually charges a small fee for the service.

Also called a holding account, a trust account
