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 an escrow account. The amount is only released when all 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 of money is involved, and a certain number of obligations need to be fulfilled before a payment is released. As in the case of a house rental, where Tenant gives security deposit to Landlord who holds the funds till the end of tenure. In this case ProtectPay secures the funds on behalf of both the parties and transfers it at the end of the tenure after confirmation from both the parties

Escrow account services involve an arrangement where a third party (ProtectPay) plays the part of a trust-enabler in a transaction between two parties. While traditional escrow service is quite difficult and must be obtained through banks and lawyers, ProtectPay provides online escrow services at affordable rates.
While the payment is ‘In Escrow’ the transaction can be safely carried out without the risk of losing money due to fraud. This eliminates all legal jargon, allows for secure transactions and confident Landlord and Tenants. ProtectPay holds the fund, releasing it only when all the terms of the contract are satisfactorily met.

Funds are in custody of Trusteeship company which is a legal entity that manages funds on behalf of a beneficiary for their benefit.

A trustee company is a legal entity that manages and invests funds on behalf of a beneficiary for their benefit. A trustee is an individual or company performing a fiduciary duty of managing a trust.
