When two parties negotiate a purchase, a merger or any one-time transaction, the same tension always arises: the buyer doesn’t want to pay before receiving what was agreed, and the seller doesn’t want to hand over the asset without certainty of payment. An escrow account, or guarantee deposit account, exists precisely to resolve that dilemma.
