For instance, pending the completion of a purchase, the payment for the goods will be held in an Escrow Account.
How Does An Escrow Account Work?
1. Both yourself and LHD Car Supermarket Ltd agree to use Escrow Account for the transaction.
2. You send your final balance (the Escrow Account payment) to the Escrow Account Administrator.
3. We receive confirmation from the Escrow Account Administrator that payment has been received into the Escrow Account.
4. You (or a LHD Car Supermarket Ltd representative) check the car and paperwork at the suppliers premises and confirm it's ready to collect. Then, and only then, are the funds sent by the Escrow Account Administrator to the suppliers bank account and the transaction is completed.
