An escrow account is a neutral holding account run by an independent third party where cash, shares, or documents are kept until specific contract conditions are met — like a referee holding the ball until both teams agree the play is fair. Investors care because escrows reduce counterparty risk in deals (mergers, stock purchases, property transactions), ensuring payments or assets are released only when agreed terms are satisfied.
