Frequently Asked Questions About Escrow Services

What is escrow?

ACA provides buyers and sellers with an escrow service that offers protection to both the buyer and seller. An escrow service collects the money from the buyer and holds it in escrow. The seller is assured the buyer has paid and can release equipment. Once the buyer receives the equipment and it meets their approval the buyer then orders the funds to be released from escrow. For this security a small fee is charged, typically less than 1% of the total transaction.
