An escrow is a financial arrangement where a third party holds and regulates payment of the funds required for two parties involved in a given transaction. It helps make transactions more secure by keeping the payment in a secure escrow account which is only released when all of the terms of an agreement are met as overseen by the escrow company.
Escrows are very useful in the case of a transaction where a large amount money is involved and a certain number of obligations need to be fulfilled before a payment is released.

Thanks for the definition and your explanations about Escrow. I have follow the Solaris project for a long time, which has its Escrow partner, but I dont know what it is till the time I find the topic by chance.

Escrow is someone who acts as a middleman appointed by both the parties involved in the trade. He is a person who is trusted by both the parties. He ensures that trade is being conducted in a secure environment and the buyer is receiving the right goods and seller is receiving a right consideration as per the agreement that took place between buyer and seller.

I work as an escrow to contribute to this community and my working style is something like this.

How Escrow works?

# 1. Buyer or seller requests for this escrow service.
# 2. Escrow confirms the trade details by contacting buyer and seller. [or rejects the request]
# 3. Buyer sends funds to escrow.
# 4. Seller sends the goods to the buyer after escrow's confirmation.
# 5.A Buyer confirms the receipt of goods or service and informs the escrow.
# 6.A Escrow release the funds to the seller.

It is a responsibility of the seller to meet buyer's expectations and buyer's responsibility to ensure the goods or services are as per buyer/seller agreement.

Dear sir, thank for your information, you can give any website link or forum topic link 'Escrow' related?

anyone know ''what's 'escrow'? and how work it?? I want to know details 'escrow' please say datailse...

Let's make a small example.

Bob wants to buy a car from Alice. Alice says that the car is 5BTC. Bob doesn't know Alice and neither does Alice know Bob.
Bob is not sure that if he gives Alice 5BTC, she will give the car to him and it is the same with Alice.

Now let's bring Kevin to the picture. Bob trusts Kevin and so does Alice. Let's say Kevin is trustworthy here.

Bob gives 5BTC to Kevin and Alice gives the car to Kevin. Kevin then exchanges the assets to the rightful owners while taking a small fee for being the middle-man.

Kevin is the escrow here. We can say that he is kind of a broker for Alice and Bob.

Good Luck!

Escrow services are a good idea when transacting with an untrusted party. Bit can protect sellers from fraudulent buyers by requiring the Bitcoin be deposited up front. Likewise, buyers are protected if the seller turns out to be a scammer and doesn't deliver the goods. If there's a dispute, the escrow service will act as the arbitrator and determine who should ultimately receive the Bitcoin funds.

Escrow accounts are the accounts that lenders establish to collect money "in advance" to cover future expenses when you take out a mortgage, such as property taxes and insurance. Lenders establish these Accounts to make sure property taxes and insurance will be paid on time, as you will be charged with the full payment of your mortgage.

The escrow account benefits the borrowers because it helps them plan and save to pay property taxes and insurance. The fact that the lender charges you each month means you do not have to worry about when your property insurance expires.
You may feel that your lender requires you to pay more money than you think is necessary in the escrow account. But this happens because lenders usually charge two months for taxes and insurance.

There is a regulation law that limits the ability of the lender to collect money from security deposit and if you have a specific complaint you can contact the Department of Housing and Urban Development or the State or federal regulators.

Thanks for your helpfull information, but I want to know how work it escrow? and say to me any Token to echange USD, how to possible it?

Escrow is when money is held in a trusted third party's possession. In traditional money systems this is the only way to ensure a transaction.
