What is an Escrow Account API?

A safer path from payment to settlement

An escrow account API allows businesses to automate the creation, management, and settlement of escrow accounts through API integration. Instead of transferring funds directly to the seller or service provider, payments are safely held in an escrow account until agreed conditions are met. Once the transaction is verified, funds are released automatically - creating a transparent, protected payment process for all parties. Widely used for online marketplaces, real estate transactions, B2B commerce, lending, legal settlements, and milestone-based projects.

Why businesses use an escrow account

Traditional transfers leave both sides exposed. Escrow doesn't.

An escrow payment system minimises financial risk by properly holding funds until contractual obligations are fulfilled. Businesses use escrow solutions to:

Build customer trust Protect buyers and sellers Reduce payment disputes Automate payment releases Improve financial transparency Streamline settlement workflows Ensure safe business transactions
The flow, visualised

Three parties. One trusted account in the middle.
