Escrow

Hold funds until both sides agree

Escrow holds money between two sides until the release condition is met. Neither side should treat held funds as already spent. The amount, the currency and the release rule are written on the escrow before anyone confirms. Accounts settle in USD.

A clean escrow

Use it for a defined transfer, not as a general wallet.

  • Who pays, who receives, and how much in USD.
  • The condition that releases the funds.
  • What happens if the condition is missed.
  • The references both sides can quote to support.

What not to use it for

Escrow does not make a bad deal safe.

  • It does not verify that goods exist outside the platform.
  • It does not replace a contract you should have had a lawyer read.
  • It does not accelerate a trading withdrawal that is still in review.
  • It is not a place to park leveraged margin.

FAQ

Can I trade with escrowed funds?

No. Held funds stay out of available margin until they are released back.

Who decides a dispute?

Support reviews the condition recorded on the escrow. Put that condition in writing at the start.

Which currency?

US dollars, the same as the rest of the account.

  1. Step 1

    Agree the condition

    Both sides should be able to repeat the release rule in one sentence.

  2. Step 2

    Create the escrow

    Enter the amount in the account. Check the fee line before you confirm.

  3. Step 3

    Release or raise it

    When the condition is met, release. If it is not, contact support with the reference.

Dollar reference rates

Held funds are USD. These rates are context, not the escrow balance.
