Key Terms

escrow financial

A neutral third party holds money, documents, or assets until both sides in a transaction meet agreed conditions, like a safety deposit box that only opens when everyone fulfills the rules. For investors, escrow reduces risk and increases certainty by ensuring payments or shares are released only when contractual steps are completed, which affects deal timing, legal protection, and the likelihood that a transaction will close as planned.
