What is Escrow?
Understanding how escrow services protect your transactions and provide peace of mind for buyers and sellers worldwide.
Escrow: Your Trusted Third Party
Escrow is a financial arrangement where a neutral third party holds and regulates payment of funds required for two parties involved in a transaction. It helps make transactions more secure by keeping the payment in a secure escrow account which is only released when all terms of an agreement are met as overseen by the escrow company.
How Escrow Works
Our escrow process is designed to be simple, secure, and transparent. Here's how we protect your transaction from start to finish.
Agreement
Buyer and seller agree on transaction terms including price, shipping method, inspection period, and who pays escrow fees.
Payment
Buyer submits payment to TrustGuard Pro's secure escrow account. Funds are verified and held safely until all conditions are met.
Delivery
Seller ships merchandise or transfers ownership. Buyer receives and inspects the item during the agreed inspection period.
Completion
Once buyer accepts the merchandise, TrustGuard Pro releases payment to seller. Transaction complete and secure for both parties.
