Escrow Account

Use the Escrow Account when your platform needs to control when amounts received by subaccounts will be made available in the balance.

The amounts can remain temporarily under guarantee and be released automatically after the configured period or manually by the platform.

The configuration is done per subaccount. The retention period, who pays the monthly fee, and how amounts are released depend on your platform's strategy.
