An escrow account is an account where funds are held in trust whilst two or more parties complete a transaction. This means a trusted third party such as a professional firm, online trading portal, trade body or government agency will secure the funds in a trust account until the contract is complete.

The funds held in an escrow account will be disbursed to their beneficial owners once the terms of a contract or escrow agreement have been fulfilled and possibly after the trusted third party has adjudicated on the fair outcome of the contract.
