What is Escrow and how does it work?

Escrow sounds like a big grammar-book word. It's actually one of the simplest ideas in money. 

Here's how it works. Instead of paying someone directly and hoping for the best, you pay into a safe, neutral account. That account holds your money until both sides keep their end of the deal. The seller only gets paid after you confirm you got what you paid for. If something goes wrong, your money is still protected. 

Think of it like a trusted friend standing between you and a stranger during a transaction, someone both of you can trust to be fair. 

This matters more in Nigeria than almost anywhere else. Online buying and selling has grown fast, and so has the number of people losing money to fake sellers, fake landlords, and fake job offers. Escrow removes the guessing game. You're no longer trusting a stranger with your money, you're trusting a system built to protect both sides.

Whether you're buying a car, renting a property, hiring a freelancer, or paying a business partner, the same question always comes up: what happens if the other person doesn't deliver? Escrow answers that question before it becomes a problem.
